No, I don't have anything to do with the company. I've just found Dave a very knowledgeable guy and easy to do business with.

Before you invest more money in the radio, you should check to make sure it conforms to the current requirements. Radios sold before 1991 may not be usable without being updated.

You might be surprised at how cheap a modern radio can be. A used one is not much more than the cost of the battery pack.

Yeah, I don't know of any transmitters made today that use 10.8 volt packs, they're all 9.6 volt (8 cells).

Chances are that the radio you're father was using is no longer legal. It may not even be on a current legal frequency.

Let us know more. Manufacturer, number of channels, does it have a silver sticker on the back with a 1991 date? Post a picture of the transmitter if possible.

Sorry,

The only radio that I know of using 9 cells that is legal today would be a World Engines Expert. If an older Kraft, it isn't legal unless updated to the requirements of *Gold Sticker* some 10 to 13 years ago.
You can get some fine small Chargers at Radio Shack ($8 to 14) with variable plugs -- one will fit -- that you can charge the transmitter pack with. Might as well get one capable of 12 volts to ensure full charge, and at least 250 ma output. Make your own with tab cells and use a minimum of 600 ma and preferably 800 ma.
I have one small "Adapter' that I found at Walmart with multi plugs and selective polarity for the plugs. I tapped in another wire with a 2 pin plug in. It is 300ma. with selective voltage from 1.5 to 12V. It makes a fine field charger for either JR or Hitec Tmttrs. plus an airplane. Sooo expensive at $6.95.

Today's batteries have no problem for quick recharges at up to the batts' rated ma.
