Miracle of miracles.  I may have found an audible way to determine when the
Vx5 battery is about to go away.  I was listening to a station, when I
became annoyed that the signal kept being interrupted.  These interruptions
were very small, & I didn't think much about it until 30 seconds later the
radio went dead, like it always does when the battery goes away.  Now I will
have to pay attention again when I think the battery is ready to go, & see
if in fact this can be a proven method of low battery detection.  If so,
there still won't be much warning, if any!

Let me know if anyone else has noticed a similar pattern.
