Dave,
As long as you (a) operate it with the battery compartment door open (per the
manual) and (b) let it warm up and stablize temperature-wise, nothing. I
have a pair of BC-221-AK's that I use with a coax selector switch for front-end
alignment and oscillator tracking of receivers or transmitters (saves a lot of
wear and tear on the old wrist). Aside from taking up quite a bit of bench
space, they work fine. I've been thinking of converting them to TS-164/AR to
save space.
