Alex, Have you read the reviews of it on eham and the companion full rack width radio? There is a chance of blowing the front end, as these were used in listening posts, not near transmitters.
Another reviewer mentioned the back up battery being prone to leaking and has posted the substitution of a back panel battery on pigtails to circumvent this problem. He used a RS battery of 2.4 volts as a replacement. I think that was on the 8718A full rack model, but likely yours will also have a battery back up. Good luck with the radio, Stuart K5KVH _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
