[ARC5] Just when I though I was done with the BC659...battery/batteries

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

The B-section is 60V, not 80.  Plus even if you use a modified 9V battery 
for the 4.5V requirement, there just isn't space in the battery box for more 
than 8 of the 9V batteries.  The real problem is finding a source for the 
connector.
