[TenTec] Paragon Questions - My first

[Bwana Bob]

My book says the same thing, but I found that an alkaline battery will 
leak, especially if you leave the power supply on all the time, like I 
do, and the battery is continually charged. Spend the extra money on a 
Nickel metal hydride rechargeable battery. I leave my power supply on 
all the time, so the battery only is needed during power failures, or 
when I shut down the power supply to service the rig.
