JR X-347 Battery Problem
Does anyone know what plug is used in the x-347? The newer battery plugs will not clip into it. Where can I buy the kind of clip needed.
Thanks for your help

There is no plug, The battery had tabs on it very much like what you will find on a simple 9V battery that made contact with spring loaded tabs in the battery compartment.
You can find a picture of it here: [link=http://www.jrradios.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=JRPB958]JR Radios[/link].

RE: JR X-347 Battery Problem
Strange, I once had a X-347 Tx and it definitly had the kind of battery connectors I described in my previous post. I know for sure because when I later replaced it with a JR X-388s I used the old battery as a spare for my new Tx. Could it be that there were different versions of the X-347?
The picture below is from page 3 of the X-347 manual and it shows battery connectors of the tab type rather than a plug. This is the same system as the one used in X-388s.

Thanks for all the information, I just cut the plug off the old battery and soldered it to the new one. Still would like to find out if anyone still makes the old black two pin plug that came with it.
Thanks Again

What I done with the one I had was open the case and replaced the TX side wiring with an old JR extension lead then it fitted the new batteries. The old "black two pin " plug you refer to is no longer made. Used to be able to get them from electronics stores.

RE: JR X-347 Battery Problem
I too have one of the very early JR -347 radio's. It has a pig-tail lead off the battery & plugs into a socket on the main board just at the roof of the battery section. It has a black connector on the end. I have a new JR battery that has a white connector on it (#jrpb955). I do not know if the white & black connectors are the same, but a simple clip & resoldering of the wires would solve that. Bill
