KX3 power reverts from 10W back to 5W

[Arno Dienhart]

Hi Richard,

 

Only saw your post now, so here are your questions with answers below:

1) are you running from a external battery or the internal aa batts.

2) have you run a check on the cables to make sure there are no

crimps/bends/breaks in the line with a volt meter ot cable tester or such

3) what is your external power source ? anything under 13.8v like a 12v

laptop power supply will have issues.

4) do you get a high current warning when you transmit before it fails

back to 5w from 10w ?

5) have to proply grounded your station even when portable when possible ?

 

1.       External 12V/17Ah UPS bat

2.       No

3.       See 1.

4.       Not sure. I will check this next time

5.       No grounding

 

As I said, I believe my weak battery connection to be a good candidate for
the culprit.

 

73,

Arno
