I am having an issue with powering my radio using rechargeable batteries. I have the scanner set to Alk for battery type as I charge my batteries in a stand alone charger. I am using 2450 mAh energizer batteries. Each battery showed a charge level of 1.44 volts for a total of 5.76 voltz. When I turn on the scanner it goes through its start up and after I push the play button the radio shuts off. I placed the switch to NiMH and I still get the same results. The battery indicator in the upper right hand side of the screen shows just the outline of a battery. When I checked with the Ez Scan software it shows a dead battery at 4.08 voltz. I placed the batteries in my 106 and it worked just fine. What setting needs to be changed?
