The radio (TR720) was made by Communication Specialist Inc. www.com-spec.com
I bought this hand-held aircraft radio around 1989...I understand that was a while ago by electronics standards, but it's still a good little unit. CSI doesn't appear to support it any longer, the NiCad pack has died long ago, but there was a AA-battery pack available at one time. Heino "karel" wrote in message ...

Far from me to offer an answer, only some tips & more questions. -) mention the subject again in the msg body, not only in the subject field -) be more specific about the radio. make? exact type? web page? bought when & where? -) consider posting the question (in due form) in news://rec.aviation.homebuilt Good luck! |

There are a dozen battery rebuilding companies that will take your old
battery and put new NiMH inside, sew it up, and get it back for $20-30 or so. I'd google on handheld battery rebuilding.

"Steve Foley" wrote Communication Specialist, Inc rebuilt one for me about five years ago. Cost about $50.00 Or you can use a cutoff wheel in a dremmell tool to cut the case open (if it has a case) and buy new cells from any source, solder it up, and use JB weld and tape to close the case. Cost from 10 bucks and up, depending on the cells. -- Jim in NC |
