Grant,
RE: "Seems to me the most straightforward approach would be to put a set of batteries in the KX3. Then you can drop and restart external power without worrying about the time delay." That was exactly my first thought as well. It certainly works fine on receive and it solves the "improper shutdown forgetfulness" problem, but i'm not sure I want to pull out the power cord during transmit to see what happens. I just don't know enough about the power control feedback loop to know how it would react to a sudden change in voltage. Anyone want to put their KX3 into transmit and then pull out the power cable to see what happens? Oh yea, then put it back in and see what happens. Voltage transients like this are a very important part of aircraft electronics since bus switching and even EMP events induce such transients, but I would doubt if that was a design requirement for the KX3. It is likely, however, that it has been tested inadvertently by now ;-) Mark KE6BB ______________________________________________________________ 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 Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
