[Elecraft] KXBC3 battery charger

[Frank O'Donnell]

I have a KX3 bought new in 2018 that has close to all of the available 
options with the exception of the KXBC3 battery charger.

Until now I haven't paid much attention to this, as I've usually used 
the radio with a Pro Audio PSU when 110vac is available, otherwise with 
a Bioenno external battery. But I may be using it more in backpack 
situations, and am on the fence on whether I'd get much use out of a 
KXBC3. Obviously everyone has to make this decision for themselves based 
on their usage habits. Just curious, though, is anyone finding the 
internal charger really useful? Or not? It doesn't sound like the 
real-time clock is accurate enough to make it a reason to consider 
buying this.

Thanks for any thoughts,
