Jim, Since it only happens with the external battery, suspect the battery - a battery with significant internal resistance can do that (with any radio). I suspect that battery is about to have a short lifetime left.
There is also a remote possibility of leaky capacitors in the KX1, but that should reveal itself n matter what the power source may be - so since it happens only with the external battery, suspect that external battery first. 73, Don W3FPR On 1/3/2012 4:10 PM, Jim - W6VAR wrote: > Something I've never noticed before with my KX1 - when an external battery is > hooked up, i hear a brief audio blip or beep every 2.5 seconds.
