I have installed 8 Sanyo Eneloop NiMH batteries.
Last night I did a 4 hour charge. I turned the KX3 off and the timer
stayed on counting down the time. When I checked the rig today the
timer was off.
Today it only has 10.8 V charge. When I try to charge again the timer
won't continue if I turn
Hello,
this morning I tried the KXUSB and the KX3 utility. No way. So I will
send my KX3 to the german service office in Berlin. And I do not use the
internal batteries. I assembled the batterie holders but in the future I
will definately not use them. So I also didn't bought the KXBC3 option.
The batteries are -already- fully charged, Stan. 10.8v after a charge cycle
on 8 NiMH cells is perfectly normal. The cells only have a rated voltage of
1.2v each. I believe the charge time won't start, because the batteries
don't need charging...

still is the main rig.

Rich,
I am curious as to what you are switching.
If you have 3 antennas and the K3, KPA500, and eventually KAT500, isn't that
all you need?
At least that is my plan. I have an Array Solutions SixPak right now that I
use for antenna
switching but since I have three antennas I use for
Perhaps the switch is on the tower, so only one feedline is shared

The K2 is certainly a great kit for a solder jockey. I built mine in 2000
