[Elecraft] Yamaha CM500 bias batteries durability

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Hi Mith,

I was luck to found two AAA batteries in the farm!, so why I was worried.

Now I am buying more to have in stock!  No houses or shopping's around  ....

Anyway I damaged the bias box, so I needed to use the Heil ProSet, and still
now they hurt my ears!, really CM500 are very confortable.

Lucky next cqww cw I can use the CM500 headphones as I not need the MIC, hi
hi...

73,
Jorge

Jorge,

Your answer is that they last just long enough to die on the first day 
of a major contest in October. Don't ask me how I know that ;-)

Take Tom's advice and keep extra batteries on hand at all times.
