Send it to C Crane and be done with it. This is your SECOND one? Yes, Paul,
you HAVE dropped and DESTROYED radios before. You need to be more careful.
Mine has that problem also. Yes, there is a serious design flaw with the
battery box on the ATS-909X. Instead of using springs they used a "tab" to
make the batteries tight. This "tab" loses it's strength and then the batteries
don't make contact anymore. I cut up a soft drink tab to make a shim. I ought
to call Sangean and give them a hard time over the defect.
