Using Alkaline Batteries, AA size in an old Conquest FP-4NL Transmitter?
Well, I have an old Futaba Conquest and I need to know if an 8 pack of AA Alkaline Batteries, properly mounted in Series, can be used in the Transmitter.
Yes, I know that fresh AAs (at 1.53V each) would equal 12.24 V versus the nominal 11V of a fully charged 8 pack of NiCads.
Has anyone used Alkalines in Older Xmitr's ??
Thanks for any help.

I just found a Futaba S30050 UM3 Tx 8 Cell Dry Battery Case, which will certainly fit, but still doesn't truly answer my question. Certainly NiCads are just as "Dry" as Alkaline.
