There will be a certain minimum voltage requirement for this. We'll  
include this info in the manual.

While we are on the subject, I am interested in learning what the maximum current
drain is for the KX3.  Does anyone know what size power supply is required?  I can't
seem to find those specs on the website.  I assume a 25w power supply would be
adequate for the stated maxiumum 12w output, but I would like to be sure of that
before I order one.  Thanks and VY 73, Lance

I would also expect a certain MAXIMUM voltage spec as well. Most "12V" solar
panels have an open circuit voltage in the 18-20V range. Some kind of
limiter (e.g. zener) would be wise.
