    Don't know about the discharge rate but the  batteries in my 259 last 
for 2-3 years.
 
3.  once I get the batteries installed and the jumper  checked..
HOW do you get the analyzer into the pouch?
-- remove the  knobs?, insert, reinstall the knobs?



         It's a real tight  fit. What I did was to cut out the front of the 
pouch for the knobs and then  struggle to get it in. Once it's in, you 
won't have to take it out until the  batteries need replacing. Just stretch the 
material - it's pretty tough. 
 
        I LOVE the pouch. It's the  best accessory for the analyzer. You 
can hang it on just about anything and I  even hang it from a boom or element 
by putting strap over the boom/element and  putting the analyzer thru the 
loop. Easy to install, easy to remove and it's  pretty much hands-free at that 
point.
