Default Re: What radios are you currently using?

Hi Mark,
That battery is rechargeable. Do you recharge them or replace them?.
I use them in Fire and Intruder alarm panels and they last for years.

I mainly use my Bush VHF61 or Bush TR130 when out and about.

Hi Robert,
Yes, I recharge it about every 4 to 6 months, depending how much use the set gets. this particular battery came from a bathlift!
I rewired the 12v input jack to charge the battery.

These are Roberts flagship model, this particular set cost me £2 from a boot sale many years ago, the treble pot was snapped off, both knob brights are missing and there is a chunk of wood missing from one of the sides, but the set works very well on all 4 bands.
