The manual says 90ma when squelched. What does it draw when it is
scanning and there is audio?

I find that I drain four 1650ma NiMH batteries in around three hours.
This corresponds to around 550ma, which seems excessive. Is anyone
doing better?

I'm thinking that you might have at least 1 bad battery out of the 4


You have a bad cell. Run the radio for a while, one will probably be
warmer than the others. I get 10-12 hours out of 1800ma rechargables,
with the volume about 1/3 up.
