[MRCA] BA-48 Rebuild Powering GRC-109

[MilComm Guy]

With all the needed items on hand today I rebuilt the BA-48 battery to
power the GRC-109 receiver and eventually the GRC-9 receiver, still looking
for a CD-1119 cable for the GRC-9.
  This is probably the simplest way to do it using minimum soldering and
purchased materials.  The 9V batteries simply snap together, no holders or
extra wiring, two D cells in parallel using a holder that snaps together
and some hot glue and cardboard.  I made an insert from cardboard to hold
the batteries, there is extra space so you can add an additional 9v pack to
double the capacity.  The size of the BA-48 is a perfect match to re-stuff
with commercial batteries.
