A set of 9 Energizer Ultrimate Lithium will supply 250ma at > 11 volts for 12 hours. They can be purchased at Sams Club for about $17/set.

That reminds me Magic, I meant to ask, don't you use 9 AAs in your battery tube?

One reason I ask is I've never seen AA batteries come in anything but even numbers so 9 seems like a pain to me. The other reason is a fresh set of 8 in the finder reads 17v which concerned me the first time a borrowed a 12v finder.
1.5v x 8 = 12v.
9 would be 13.5v on the label but 19v in practice?

FWIW the only resistor I saw was the one resistor i saw. What 8" wire where? I know what a circuit is but beyond that I'll take your word for it. I know what a 6-32 is though! :)

I still want to see a bluetooth 'ducer in my lifetime. That cord is a real pain in the butt.
