[Elecraft] Kx3 turns itself off

[Sean Cunningham]

Hi -

I having been trying to find QSOs on 20m this weekend on my kx3 and AX-1

I have tried both with fully charged NimH AA batteries with power set to 5W
and with an external battery with power set to 15w.

On a few occasions, my kx3 has turned itself off. I see a flash of
asterisks on the screen, then off it goes. I can turn it right back on
again.

It did it several times when on AA batteries, and less so when on the
external battery.

Has anyone seen this before?
