Hi John,
Basically, yes; if you want to get more than 2 watts out of the KX1, you need
an external power source. If you look at the specs on page 5 of the manual, it
says:
Transmitter
Max. power output (approx.)
9 V supply 1.5 - 2 W
12 V supply 3 - 4 W
The internal battery holders have space for 6 AA cells, so the best you can get
from internal batteries (using ordinary batteries) is 1.5V x 6 = 9 V
