Bob, When battery diameter is not specified, it is best to measure them - I would suggest taking your calipers along to the store.
There is just so much space in the K1 holder for the internal batteries - if the diameter is too large, the batteries may not fit into the available space. I believe the vertical space is the most critical. 73, Don W3FPR On 9/4/2011 6:18 PM, Linda and Bob wrote: > Need help.
