I do not intend to use this near transmitters, so that should solve
that, I hope!
As for that batt, you have a point and thanks for the reminder. I
need to get in there and see where that batt is, and see if it's ok.
I need to make a replacement bottom panel for it too! 73 de Alex NS6Y.

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
