[MRCA] PRC-10 battery

[Rob Flory]

Hi Bob,
When it comes to batteries, size does matter.  If you compare 6 AAs as a
9-volt unit to each 9-volt battery, I think you have a lot more capacity.

That said, the 9s are a heck of a lot easier to wire up and fit in the
radio, and you aren't likely to wear them out very fast under the
conditions we use these radios in.
