        Just to be sure.... May I leave my standard Alkaline AA batteries inside de
        KX1 while using external DC supply ???

Oui! No problem. Please look at D2 and D3 in the upper right corner of the schematic - these shottky diodes (low voltage drop) are wired so that whichever supply (internal battery or external supply) has the higher volage will power the KX-1, and the lower voltage supply will be ignored.
