[Elecraft] Fw: K1-4 niMh 1.2v batteries

[Don Wilhelm]

Bob,

When battery diameter is not specified, it is best to measure them - I 
would suggest taking your calipers along to the store.

There is just so much space in the K1 holder for the internal batteries 
- if the diameter is too large, the batteries may not fit into the 
available space.  I believe the vertical space is the most critical.

73,
