One could also use one of these for a "cleaner" look.

The problem is that will not fit in the existing case. The case that came with the receiver is only half filled with the board so I "think" a stacked 4 AAA holder would fit inside. Of course Radio Shack didn't have these in stock so it's off to try to find one elsewhere.

I was thinking of piggybacking one of these with velcro to the outside of the case for ease of access to the battery compartment.

Here is a link to the 4 AAA version.

there is also a non-enclosed version.

Yep, that top on is the one I'm looking for. I hope I can find it locally but that's not looking likely.

40 meter car powered mod

Here are a couple of pictures of my 40 meter car powered mod. I used the 4 AAA batery enclosure from Radio Shack above. I connected it to middle and right most terminals and also left the car adapter socket in place so I can actually use both if I wanted to. I simply drilled a small hole in the cover to get the wires into the case. Used velcro to keep the two enclosures together.
