I made a ba-414 from nine volts and used a vacuum tube socket so I didn't have to mess with the connector on the gra-6. It's a good use for cheap Chinese sockets. I did have to drill out the center as the tube socket was clocked incorrectly. I've used that battery a few times an it still seems ok.
I'd love to find a source for correct batteries but haven't yet.

I have a pack of 9 volt batteries, the clips and need a roll of 2 sided
tape. The original spec for the BA-414 is 30 N cells. I was going to use
2 sets of 9 volt batteries in a series/ parallel configuration. The
only issue is that the radio needs to be running and tuned up prior to
using the remote control. The Vrc series with the MT-297 could be turned
on and off remotely with the AN/GRA-6, but not the GRC-106.

Newer style remote systems like the AN/GRA-39 will not work with the 106 being it's the wrong style of connectors to mate with the radio.

The whole mess is a lot like the old DC remote control systems that were employed in the Motorola and GE DC remotes of the fifties and sixties. The BA-414 is a 45 volt battery and I think I can cobble one together using five nine volt batteries.
