Nice, now all you need is a small multi-coupler on the back so you can use one antenna

Or a small little 12v battery too...
One of my friends is a die-hard RC airplane fan and has one of these in his carry box

UBBL03 (Type LI-7)

Nuffin like a lawnmower battery that weighs the same as a couple D cells, now dont get me wrong he wouldnt tell me what it cost or what vendor he ordered it from...

I found one place that sells chargers for these puppies listing them at almost 8,000.00 talk about govt pork contractors

Yeah, thinking about that, especially for times what I move it from its normal spot (two attic antennas there). But not sure it would be worth the expense for the few times I'll use it away from its main monitoring spot.

Re:

I know what ya mean, I IM'd my friend and he said that battery was a reject for a mil contractor, he got it from the recycler.....it looks like any li-ion batts over a couple Amp-Hr capacity rating are several hundred bucks.....good sources prolly robotics and model car/plane manufacturers etc...

All this electric car technology (and demand) needs to hurry up (and drive prices down) , I get a bit winded carrying gel-cells when I go portable with a bunch of gear.

Dont listen to me, Keep it simple LOL
