[Milsurplus] GRC-9 bias battery: AAAA cell holder

[Hubert Miller]

Some have soldered 3 AAAA cells together, then wrapped or heatshrunk them for the bias batt.
Here are some AAAA cell holders available from Digi Key for about $2 each. I'm thinking you can
glue these back to back and move one of the output wires to delete one cell. The two holders
back to back will fit vertically into the battery space. You will have to distort the present battery
clamp or remove it. I was thinking the two batt holders can simply be rubberbanded to C-55
next to it. The batts, if good quality, should last a long time, shelf life, and so can be easily
replaced without tools or soldering. I note that whereas we used to get AAAA cells from out
of some standard high duty 9 volt batts, you can buy AAAA cells now. I even saw these at a local
grocery store.
