[Elecraft] K3 Battery Low

[Keith Trinity WE6R]

Yes, but the "BAT LOW" message has nothing to do with the clock battery.

BAT LOW means your supply voltage is below the level you have set in 
Config Menu "BAT MIN".

 From the manual;
BAT MIN 11.0 Low-battery warning threshold; 11.0 recommended. (This 
refers to a battery used as the DC power supply for the transciever, not 
to the 3-V backup battery for the real-time clock.) If the voltage drops 
below this level, the operator will be alerted with a BAT LOW message. 
The menu parameter flashes if this occurs within the menu, so the level 
can be easily tested.
