I don't own Energizer (ENR) or Duracell (G) stock and I don't think Jay does
either. We just stopped by the closest battery booth and that's what was
readily available for alkalines.

Bet he owns stock in Energizer...

I use Duracell in everything. (And no, I don't own any stock)

Has anyone else tried transmitting using a handheld powered by
alkalines,
either the A23 or any of the other brands? I'm thinking about trying
the
Sporty's model next. It uses 8 AA rather than the A23's 6.

I don't have direct experience with the Icom radios, but I was with Jay
Honeck when he picked up his A5 at OSH. The dealer mentioned when using
alkalines in the Icom, don't use Duracell brand. He said there was a
'compatibility' problem when using that brand for some reason. Jay
picked
up
a set of industrial Energizers and used his new handheld for a few days
without any problems.
