[Elecraft] T1 ATU Battery storage tip

[Chuck Gehring]

This last weekend I finished construction on my T1 auto-tuner.  The manual recommends that for transport that you reverse the battery in the storage compartment.  I tried that and was not real comfortable with hearing the battery flop around as I walked around with the T1 in my fanny pack.  I have inserted a small strip 1" of magnetic tape with an adhesive backing into the battery compartment.  So far it does not seem to have any adverse effect on the T1's performance. The magnetic tape is the type you can find in small rolls at any hobby or craft shop.  For what it is worth I figured I would pass on the tip.
