FYI: XG3 Battery Run Time in CW Simulator mode

[Clay Autery-2]

FYI in case anyone is interested.

An XG3, fitted with a brand new 9 vdc battery, set to play a CW macro on
repeat, set to -73dBm, and with AUTO-OFF set to "0" (disable), will run
continuously for approximately 4 hours, 38 minutes before the battery
voltage drops too low to continue.

Looks like I will be creating a 5x 2.1mm x 5.5mm RA connectors to PS
connector to power the CW simulator for hamfest. <smile>

73,

Clay, there are 9v lithium batteries that will provide much longer life.
