[GeoStL] Re: Question about 2 Way Radios

I don't want to sound like a cheapy, but I use alkaline batts. from the Dollar 
General Store $5.oo for a 24 pack and they seem to last as long as the other 
batts. I've used. Hey, I've got kids and things often get left on.

  I use the standard alkalines. Bass pro sells a 48-pack of batteries for cheap 
and I get about 24 hours off a set...

  Let's break it down: 48 divided by 2 radios = 24. 24 divided by 2 (one set of 
batts.) get's you 12 days of power all for under 10 bucks.

    Sorry for those of you who mat have already read this, it was included at 
the bottom of another post of mine and I think it got lost in the shuffle of 
legal discussion on FRS/GMRS.

    Now for my question.......For those of you already using the motorola 
radios, are you using regular alkaline batteries? Rechargeable AA's? or the 
rechargables designed for it w/the base unit?  And what is battery life on each?

    I saw the ones on sale at best buy and saw the rechargeable battery kit 
listed for $24.99.  The same radios with the battery set are similar in price 
at Amazon as the cost to buy them seperately at best buy.  Was just trying to 
decide which would be a better deal for me, especially since I'm horible about 
sending in rebate forms.
