      <p>Mike -<div><br></div><div>This is wacky - you&#39;re right, inside the Active Duck it says to use size N or I believe UM-5 (the print is small). I was now all ready to toss my 12-volt batteries (they&#39;re actually several years old now - I should measure them) - but now you report that the instructions say to use the A23. Well, it IS good to know I haven&#39;t been frying my Duck when I&#39;ve used it. And yes, when I switch it on the general noise level really amps up. Now I&#39;m curious, I&#39;m gonna buy a couple of N cells and compare.&nbsp;</div><div><br></div><div>12 volts seems like a lot to hit a FET with...if the Duck will work well on 1.5V maybe I&#39;ll settle on that.</div><div><br></div><div>Yes, much less to hear on the shortwave broadcast bands now. But the VR-50
 0 is GREAT for SSB listening, as I&#39;m sure you know. You&#39;re right, it&#39;s a little all-in-one DX machine overall.</div><div><br></div><div>Chuck</div><div><br></div></p>
