Howdy W8JN,

	Did you still want the location for the best price on BP-170 battery packs?
I got 2, and also a gain antenna.  My thought was that the BP-173 with
~900mah and 5 watts out into a -3dB antenna was what I started out with.
That is about 2.5 watts ERP.  Switching to the BP-170 gives about 1.5 watts
out, and the new antenna claims 2.1 dB on 146.  That gives me about 2.5
watts ERP, (same as before), but runs about 500% longer on one battery pack.
Makes the backpack load a lot less, not carrying 3 BP-173s, only 2 BP-170,
and fewer AA batteries when I hike.  What a deal.  Let me know if you are
still interested.

Mike.  KD9KC
