boy mark, you have one hell of a time too!

I have been running qrp since  1978 and I am really surprised by how rotten
the newer radios work on battery power. The argo V coughs and kicks when the
voltage drops near 12.3 volts, well within the voltage rating of a lead acid
battery.

That is one of the reasons why I got the icom 703 and it will work with a
9.21 volt battery like the ones they use in rc cars..

just wait till next year!
