After looking into fixing my Pro-90 and seeing what else is out there, I'm considering picking up an additional scanner. I'm looking an older non-trunking scanner and setting it up for AAR frequencies for train watching. Because I often will walk to a location and stay for a few hours, batter life is important to me. However, I'm unsure of what most of the battery options are.
It seems the Pro-90 with the separate battery pack is in the minority. I like this system - It held a charge well and I replaced the battery pack once for about $15. Looking at a bunch of specifications I see a lot of AA/rechargeable setups, with some that use different voltages. How do these work? How do they compare with the Pro-90 pack? Can I (or would I want to) convert a scanner to a separate battery pack?
