Sean,
It sounds like the voltage being applied to the internal circuits of the
KX3 is dropping below 8 volts, which is the voltage at which it will
turn itself off.
Check inside for any loose connections (weak battery holder springs for
instance) or power wire terminals that may be partially unplugged.
If you can't locate anything, an email to support may give you some
other points to check.

Hi -
I having been trying to find QSOs on 20m this weekend on my kx3 and AX-1
I have tried both with fully charged NimH AA batteries with power set to 5W
and with an external battery with power set to 15w.
On a few occasions, my kx3 has turned itself off. I see a flash of
asterisks on the screen, then off it goes. I can turn it right back on
again.
It did it several times when on AA batteries, and less so when on the
external battery.
Has anyone seen this before?
