I see 14.8VDC on my K1's BAT indicator. 73 de Tom K2TA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Kantarjiev" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <elecraft@mailman.qth.net> Sent: Tuesday, January 10, 2006 12:34 AM Subject: [Elecraft] 14.9V to KX1? > In my quest to get a lighter/smaller power supply for my KX-1, I > found a wallwart in my junk box.
