Alkalines for tx and rechargeable for my vehicles.
Guys;
I have 2 Futaba 3PDFM radios. One has Alkalines in the TX the other has 1600 Mah NiMh's. The Alkalines will last 3-4 weekends before needing to be replaced.
I can go at least 2 weekends before recharging my NiMh's but always charge them the night before for the added voltage.
