Re: A nearly perfect internal battery solution ...
Has anyone tried lithium batteries? I can get them at the military exchange for $3.50 (USD) per pair. I am not sure the rating but I have used them in hand-held and got better life usage out of them.

Re: A nearly perfect internal battery solution ...
Another point that I took away from the discussions of the internal battery
tray is that all of the parts involved have fairly high electrical
resistance, so a lot of current gets wasted heating

Re: A nearly perfect internal battery solution ...
Glad you said nearly perfect. I'd be concerned about the lack of
overcurrent and thermal protection for something which will live inside the
817. Also there is a convenience factor related to

Which brings me to another possible angle on the question whether the

Re: Proper battery
Hi
The 4.5V tap is the green wire on the alkaline battery pack.
It is used as a logical signal to inhibit charging.

Re: Fw: SSB Filter - Help!
Hi Don,
We have found that the SSB filter does give the 817 more kick in the
