Let me add one more question to Frank or anyone that knows of these types of
radios.

I never took it mobile because on the inside of the battery compartment it says
:

Caution:" The battery charger will only recgarge the following nickel cadmium
rechargeable cells or its equivalent-EverReady CH4.0 Burgess CD 10 or Marathon
S103. All other batteries will over heat and cause leakage. Only use the above
prescribed batteries."


Apparently someone didn't pay attention because the inside when I got it had
some leakage, but I cleaned it spic-n-span.

My question would be, why can't I use just four regular D cells (that's what it
looks like it takes) and on the front of the radio at the bottom left corner it
has a switch that says 'Batt.Charge' and a red light that lights up when you
flip it because I've done it.

Why can't I keep the charger in the 'off' position and run the four Dcells??
Would it hurt anything?

Thanks to anyone who replies.
