I received an answer from Tropic Aero (www.tropicaero.com):
They still have nicad batteries for the STS radio:
$49.00.

This beats the $70 (plus or minus) quoted from 'Batteries
Plus' for a nicad.

I do like the idea of a NiMH instead of the nicads.

Thanks,

If someone has an old battery case from a broken STS, I'd be interested. I
normally run mine from a 12v supply, but might like to resume portability
sometimes. Rebuilding a pack with NiMH sounds like an good idea.
