I have just put my KX-3 into portable service trying to locate noise sources around my property and neighborhood. I put eight brand new Duracell alkaline cells into the KX-3 and turned off the backlight. Preamp is set to 20 db gain and I am using headphones with a homemade 26 inch loop for DF.
I am surprised with how fast the battery voltage is dropping as indicated by the KX-3 display. What batteries would be better to use for this application where I might be out for as long as two hours looking for noise sources? 73 Dennis W0JX Milan, OH ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
