KX3 battery trickle charge

[Peter Lambert]

I'm pretty sure I read something on this list about a trickle charge in the
KXBC3.  I can't find anything confirming this in the documentation and I
don't see anything in the schematic that would provide the function.

Is there a trickle charge ?.

Out of interest what's the function of R10 and the associated half of Q1 ?.
it would seem that it raises the charge current from 200mA to 260mA (why ?).

TIA,
Peter VK4JD

The charger is a 200 mA constant current charger.  Either on or off based on the time set in menu.
