I've thought of doing just that, but I've been 'spearmintin' with
NiMH D cells, and they seem to last forever. Plus, they fit
inside the receiver, so that saves the space that would be taken
by another piece of kit. However, when I start taking QRP to
the field, I think I'm going to have to do just that.
