Terry , Thanks for the info ! Just one more question if you get a chance.
How long do the 9 volt batteries last roughly ? These radios must not consume much power. I was hoping someone would say there were options that did not gang them together.But when you think about it I guess the options are pretty limited. Only so many voltages made.
From the sounds of it the heater batteries are delivering most of the current . Thanks again!
