Dear OMs and YLs,
I have a couple of questions regarding the batteries used for KX2 and
KX3.
1) What are the relative radio weights with batteries installed?
2)With standard NiMh 2600 ma-hr batteries in the KX3 and the LiPo battery in
the KX2 both radios running at 5 Watts on CW with lets say a 80% listening
to transmit time; what are the approximate battery life expectations between
charges for new batteries?
3) Can the KX2 LiPo battery be used with the KX3?
I saw the KX2 and its nifty case at Friedrichshafen and am afraid the
KX1 has to go. This will leave me with a KX2 and KX3 and I rather expect
the KX2 will be my main portable radio. Even in its carry case, I can
place the KX2 inside the AlexLoop travel bag.
My friend Hugh, EI9KF has just received his KX2 and marvels at so much
radio in so small a package.
A final supplementary question is there no need for a roofing filter in
the KX2 or is it already built in. A bit of discussion regarding the
difference in architecture of the two radios would be interesting.
Enjoy your radios.
73 Doug EI2CN
