Have to look into that! I have 4 radios used in heavy rotation throughout the house. A couple of locations require battery only and a couple are powered so are where the radios go to get charged. I must have had 2 of mine for 6 or so years and 2 others might be a couple of years newer at best. They must have easily surpassed 500 plugs and are showing no signs of issues with the sockets, unlike my booms! The batteries are another matter though, the two older ones definitely last less than the newer. Perhaps time to try one of the 3rd party ones.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7125 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=84402 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
