hee hee....we rebooted lots of batteries. They're strewn on the seabed
floor for some future archeologist to turn into a government grant he can
bottom feed off of.

I remember when a 12 pound, OD Green battery would make about 5 minutes of
transmit before another 12 pound, OD Green battery would be replacing it.

Of course, that was true in my "Carphone", too. When you pressed the dial
button on one of the 8 channels, you could hear the motor-generator high
voltage power supply winding up in the trunk, added to the vibrator supply
the receiver was using.....(c;]

At least now we can make phone calls WITHOUT the engine running....
