Mike,

Oh, I see the confusion. I wrote 76 - I should have written 760 mAh. :-(((( .

Ah so! No problem, just multiply the times I derived by a factor of
ten.

I've found that for a "working" radio, you need the 1400 mAh for it to
make it through a full day. I think that you can do that with the
alkaline AA cell. What I've found best is to use NiMH AA cells in the
alkaline battery pack that came with your radio. It keeps you from
buying alkaline batteries everyday, so the charger and batteries pay
for themselves in less than a week of normal usage. Just be sure to
bring along extra alkaline batteries to give you a second or third
day's use if you need it for emergencies, i.e. where you are forced
down away from an airport.
