Yes. > And would the KXBC3 know not to allow charging to occur? Wayne has said that this will be the case. What was not clear was if you will have to set a switch or jumper on the KXBC3 board to "tell it" which you have in. > Or would I need to swap the KXBC3 with the standard battery pack if I > wanted to use non-rechargeables? See above. The battery holders themselves are screwed into the RF board and would not be routinely removed. You would not remove or swap a "battery pack". Rather, you would remove the rechargeable cells and install your alkaline or lithium primary cells. The KXBC3 is the optional PC board that has the charger/RTC circuitry on it. It will stay in place. 73, Bruce, N1RX ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
