[Scanner] Scanner Battery Pack for older Radio Shack scanners

[scanner@mailman.qth.net]

     Radio Shack sells a "Scanner Battery Pack with Charging Stand"  (Item 
23-288).
     The Battery Pack fits into the following scanners:
Pro-30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36, 37, 39, 42, 43, 44, 50, 60, and 62.
     The Charging Stand accepts the battery pack (outside of the scanner), 
and uses the normal wall wart for power.
     I have several of the above types of scanners.  So I keep at least one 
battery pack in the charging stand at any time.
     The unit costs under $20, so it is about the same cost as decent nicads, 
but offers the convenience of allowing you to be charging a pack as you are 
using another pack in the radio.  When on sale they are $14.99. 
     The packs are rated at 600 mAh.
     The unit appears on p. 104 of Radio Shack's 2002 catalog.
