I may also be a bit late, but it would be nice if the KX3 Clock in the battery charger (KXBC3) was more accurate. I need to reset my clock each week or two to insure that it is within +/- 1 minute. 73, Rob - AE7AP -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/KX2-KX3-w

Withthe exception of prismatics, I don't think you'll find a LiFePO4 3S-size cell pack that is actually 4S electrically. A prismatic would be a custom designed 4S, but you might take a look at Hobby King to see what they have. Sometimes we all get lucky. 73, matt W6NIA On 4/10/2017 9:13 A

A bit late, I know, but: For each, I would like to see a battery pack with 4S LiFePO4 cells, instead of the 3S LiIon pack the KX2 comes with. Advantages would be the longer ultimate life of LiFePO4, a voltage closer to 14V fully charged and a higher voltage toward the end of charge than the 3S Li
