Alkalines versus NiMH
 
A couple decades ago, about 1980, I think it was. I had a
couple CB walkies, and tried using them on nicad AA cells.
The walkies were good for about an hour of chit chat. Not
all that useful.

I had a walkie that would take alkalines or
rechargeables.
Performance was the same when fully charged. But output was
more
uniform until death, lacking the slow decline of alkalines.

Rechargeable life was less than practical for long days
in the
field.

I got about 2. But then, when I'm in the woods, chit-chat isn't
really what I'm there for.

Except for the CB channel the 18 wheelers use, there isn't anything on
CB around here worth listening to.I almost never turn on any of my CB
radios anymore.

Well, not exactly. When I go off to the woods it's for the
solitude, the quiet, and a little deep DXing.

Hunting is not really my style, unless food is otherwise in short
supply. Which it can be in January in the North Woods.

I've only had to kill what I eat a couple of times.

And I don't think they'll ever let me in that WalMart, again.
