Paul, here's something I've been trying to figure out. I go to tower sites,
like nutby to do repairs. The tower, especially the cell phone towers have
guy wires at 45 degree angles up to the top without any breaks.
If I could have a ratchet device that I would pull with a rope, that would

Hi John,
What about slipping a couple of diodes in series? Switch them out
after the voltage drops.

i built an external LiIon battery pack for my KX1. It can be Velcroed to
the top edge of the KX1. You could just use 3 cells to get 12.4V, which is more
than the internal primary Lithium's normally provide. The radio has power
diode inputs so it will draw current from which ever battery has

Having recently gotten into electric R/C plane, I'd like to power my KX1 with
the lighter LiPo batteries that I have on hand. Each LiPo cell is 4.7 volts,
therefore 3 cells = 11.1Vand 4 cells is 14.8V.
I'd prefer to use a 4-cell battery for the KX1. The manual calls for 7-14 volts
for this rig.
