so you can D/C the keep alive circuit if you have current software and not worry
about the parasitic drain on the battery. Haven't tried it yet myself, but
that's what I've been told.
That's the way mine (HX and Mini-X) are setup (no keep alive circuit for
either), and it works well. Picks up the time shortly after powerup.
No issues so far that I've noticed.

Same here. When they made the change I disco'd the stay alive circuits,
the HXs pick up the time before I go looking for it and a nagging
battery problem went away.
