[QUOTE="kurrajong, post: 244213, member: 4228"] Paul_mac, you are on the money with the battery positive terminal size. the problem appears to be all about the spring connection not being able to keep contact with the battery positive button. Taping the batteries keeps them still in the case but the contact can still be sloppy if the lid is not put on carefully. We ended up using a small piece of alfoil folded over and placed that over the top of the batteries. This worked every time so I ended up cutting a piece of brass shim material to the same pattern as the battery slots and now I just drop that over the batteries before closing the lid. Emi from power lines is not a serious issue here as once you leave town there are none. Atmospheric stuff can be a pain with electrical storms. I have noticed that on hot days the machine seems to get more noisy as the day warms up. Most of the time the issue is fixed by hitting the auto tune button and as some have said it can take a few resets to get the sweet channel. Dirt in the skid plate is also an issue in the laterite country or any other heavy mineralised soils. [/QUOTE]
