In Response To: Low power, too (haresfur)

: According to the manual I downloaded the HX460 only transmits at 0.9 W power
: with the alkaline pack.

: The thing that concerns me in general is that transmitting takes so much more
: power than receiving that it seems like you would have to be careful to
: leave plenty of reserve battery in case of emergency. How long can you
: transmit with, say 1/3 of your charge left?

Although I typically thow mine on the charge whenever I think of it, I've found the life of the standard battery to be very good. I do carry a charged spare, however.
