[Milsurplus] BC-611 power

[Joe Munson]

I have 3 BC 611's, 2 MAB's, and other battery operated equipment, and have
used the 9 volt and D cell batteries from Big Lots for many years.  The BC
611,s are used 3-4 times a year 20- 60 minutes per session.   One of the
611's and one of the MAB's have are running the 9 volt batteries put in them
some 5 years ago.  I check them each year, and will probably replace them
for Dayton this year.  The D cells last a 2 or 3 hours or more.   I am not
saying Copper Tops or other top line batteries would last longer, but as far
as I can tell, for the use I get out of the cheeper batteries, I will
continue to use them.
