If you need AA or AAA batteries (believe it or not, it's not altogether too far away 'till Christmas)* ShopRite has a sale this week on Kodak Ultra-Life AA and AAA batteries. 24 pack for 2.99 which is about $ .13 cents each. I've used Kodak in my HT's and they provide almost as much use as DuraCell. Marv K2VHW *82 days 'till Christmas
