For the cost, these look very interesting. Do you have your hands on one yet? If so, how do you like it?<br><br>>>but it would be very nice if it worked off AC as well- or at least could use a brick-on-a-leash adapter, so that it could live on my desk most of the time<<<br><br>Easy to provide that if you wish. Assuming it's 3 volt (two AAA), make up a couple dummy cells, one (or both) with an appropriate connection for a standard 3v supply jack. You could even provide some smoothing with caps in the dummy cells or do a better job by running the wall wart output into a homemade smoothing box of caps and then into the dunmmy cells. Either way, I imagine the battery compartment cover would be left off - I'd tether the cover to the case (not a bad idea anyway).<br><br>Another alternative that MIGHT be feasible is to carefully mount a jack in the vicinity of the batttery compartment, routing battery and line power such that plugging in a jack cuts the batteries out of the circuit - but there might not be room for that approach - these are pretty small radios.<br><br>I doubt that smoothing the wall wart output is really important from a power supply standpoint, but I suppose it could cause some unwanted rfi at some frequencies if left at 60Hz - I'm just a tinkerer - anyone have a better idea?<br><br>Of course, the simplest approach would be a NiMh charger at work and two sets of batteries - one ready or charging and one in the radio. I saw they offer a NiCad setup, but I've found NiMh to work better for this sort of low-to-moderate current use.<br><br>Since these obviously have a jack for earbuds, you could also make up a patch cord to run the output through your computer's sound card or (depending on the speaker specifics) directly into powered computer speakers - just another thought.<br><br>Regards,<br><br>Tom
