Yes, it could be more powerful but this is cheap and finished and requires
nothing more than the sync cable that comes with the unit. AA s are powerfu=
l
and small and cheap and accessible.

Thanks! Some what of a relief to see that big of a bat pack.

So you're suggesting DIY 4XAA packs like

?

A usb connector  on the pack sounds awfully big doesn't it? Maybe one could
pull the connector that hooks up to the internal batteries out of the case
and connect a bigger sled?  This might even be necessary for long recording
periods if the external DC jack power circuit is not designed to be
supplanted by batteries-- where the voltage is not constant.  Insufficient
voltage might result in data loss for files not yet fully written.  Rob D.
