is causing you to think you might have an RF out
issue with your KX3.

David,
Set the radio for 5W in the TUNE menu first. Then press the tune button. I make
all of my power measurements with my KX3 set to 5W and TUNE.
John and I use these DL1s extensively. Google KN5L DL1 and read up on the diode
characterization and further reading about its use.

Thanks for the information. I believe this will help me with what I need to

I will also check out your suggested reading it sounds like there is some
valuable information there.
Thanks

David,
If you have a dummy load and any sort of Wattmeter
which can measure in 10-20 W range, that should
tell you if you're getting NO power out.
And make sure you have the power out dialed in at
10 watts or so in the KX3, not set to zero.

Yes on all counts. This unit would be described as a simple hysteresis
controller -- it doesn't pulse the charge current, it simply turns
charging on if the battery voltage is less than full charge, turns
charging off when that voltage is reached, and turns charging back on

Way less than the self-discharge of the cells. 30uA probably is too.

Two questions regarding the KX2.
1. Can the KXBC2 be used as a power supply, with appropriate adapter, to
power the KX2?
2. Can someone explain why Elecraft used a Li-ion battery rather than
other Lithium chemistries in the KX2?
Some chemistries are safer than others.

Thee is an issue with the cheaper solar controllers - they tend to place the
