[ARC5] Battery report

[Bill Cromwell]

Hi,

I have a solid-state, three band QRP transceiver that I like (PFR-3). It 
has an internal battery compartment that holds 8 AA cells. Other hams 
started reporting leakage damaging their radios so I followed your lead 
Miles. I made a small pack that lives outside the radio and plugs into 
the "Exrenal Power" socket. The lead-acid batteries are more than I want 
to carry to an afternoon outing to the local parks.

73,
