KX3 external and internal battery use

[Robert S. McCuskey-2]

Does the KX-3, like the KX-1,  have diodes that isolate external and
internal battery power sources with the result that the internal batteries
can be left in place while using an external battery or power source and
whichever is providing the higher voltage is the source powering the KX-3?

Yes, you may leave the internal batteries in place.
