Radio Shack Pro-26 battery question
Hi, everyone -
I have a Radio Shack Pro-26 scanner that I picked up over 5 years ago at a Radio Shack Outlet store. I love the thing! I was changing my batteries in it today and I noticed that there are terminals in it that appear to be for a rechargable battery. Is there such a beast that I can buy for it and use the charging jack on the side of the scanner? Also, was there ever a leather type case made for it? I actually have everything for it - the service manual, parts list, owner's manual, and box - :-) Thanks, Jon |

Don't know about case. --reed -- (remove N0SPAM from address to reply) |

not excatly sur what you mean,
but if you mean the third contact terminal where the battey pack goes in then yes. there is a rechargeable pack you can use, or if you are cheeky you can wire a diode across inside to put the power to the normal + terminal from the charge terminal. the mod is on the net somewhere i expect. i think it was the 36 i saw it for. mike "Jon Guidry" wrote in message om...

Just put four rechargeable batteries in. They can be recharged inside the
Pro 26 if you use the 9volt "charge" socket. Takes a little longer if the radio is on though. |
