A neighbor just gave me a Midland 75-785 portable CB. He says it works great but I haven't tried it yet. Anyway, it takes a pickup truck load of AA batteries (9 to be exact). The unit is switchable from Ni-cad batteries to Alkaline but there's no mention of Li-ion or NiMH. I'm guessing the radio was made not too long after Marconi died.
Will NiMH batteries provide enough power to run the radio a decent length of time. The radio has a built-in Ni-cad charger and using that is out of the question.
