R30 Can someone post a sideways view of their R30 with the BP-293..........

[rja1]

I like radios that will sort of fit in a shirt pocket. Have the R30 and would like to see just how much the AA battery case sticks out compared to the internal battery. Hopefully, not like my SDS100. It sits in its box, I never take it anywhere. That was a MAJOR engineering screw up. They knew what the current draw of the scanner was..........they knew how many mAh the battery would provide. Will probably sell it, to offset what I laid out for the R30.

Thanks,

Bob,

See about half way down this page (review) for a side photo of the IC-R30 with the BP-293 attached.
