Some have said that, but I've never noticed any difference running from 
deep-cycle batteries myself. The designer said somewhere on the AOR UK site 
that this was not really an issue. But, that's just my experience.

There are actually batteries available with extra cells, 14 Volt batteries. 
I've seen these in a catalog one of my mechanic friends had laying around. 
These were designed to be used as extra boosts for starting high-compression 
race cars, and the extra cell was not charged by the engine. These had 3 
posts on them. I don't know if these'd be deep-discharge types, but I doubt 
it.

There were kits available to use the newer encoders. Does yours have these 
already? These could be ordered, as I recall.  As far as working on the 
radio, if you've a mind to have the work done at a service center, send it to 
the UK if you want the radio done right. Period. I've talked to several folks 
who have had poor experiences using US service centers. All of these radios 
were later shipped to the UK and fixed right. And if you have the old 
encoders, you might as well have them all fixed and be done with it.
