<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Hey folks,<div><br></div><div>A while ago the battery pack on my D7 died completely, so I headed into andrews to get a new one.. Turned out he had the kenwood 4-AA box in stock, so I went with that instead, after being assured that the difference between my 9.6v high-capacity pack, and the 6v 4xAA pack wouldn't effect my power out... Although having bought one of the little digitor 30W VHF amps off ebay yesterday, I find that on battery, the D7 is only putting out about 3W, where was on external DC, it's putting out the full 5W.. - Anyone else gone from a 'proper' pack to one of the AA packs? And seen something similar? Doesn't bother me hugely, as I pretty much always use it off the car power, but thought it was a bit strange..</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>DG</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Damien Gardner Jnr<br>VK2TDG.
