Alex,
Have you read the reviews of it on eham and the companion full rack width 
radio?  There is a chance of blowing the front end, as these were used in 
listening posts, not near transmitters.

Another reviewer mentioned the back up battery being prone to leaking and 
has posted the substitution of a back panel battery on pigtails to 
circumvent this problem.  He used a RS battery of 2.4 volts as a 
replacement.  I think that was on the 8718A full rack model, but likely 
yours will also have a battery back up.

Good luck with the radio,
Stuart
