ray, do they have portable dvd players over there?  if you can find a battery for one of those i think that's all you need.

look up the walmart battery threads...i don't have one but i imagine they'd be a kind of universal staple along with those players....it's just a 9v external battery pack.

Ray -- ua5s are really easy to power, virtually anything that puts out 7-12 volts will run it just fine (as long as the battery has enough current/capacity).  A 12volt motorcycle battery might be real easy to find.  Then, all you'd need to do is hack (cut in half) the power cord supplied with the ua5's ac adaptor, take a voltmeter to determine polarity (you need to be sure the positive from the battery goes to the right place in the ua5) and secure the wires.

hey, i dunno what youre talking about

well, good luck, you should be able to find one over there!

i just thought you said you used it in band practices and stuff

Ray:

Do you know how to soldier, etc.?  If not, your best bet's likely going to be to contact doug oade and arrange to buy a pre-made battery pack off of him.  The dvd battery pack won't work with the ua5 out of the box without a trip to radio shack (they have those in the EU?) or some quick soldiering to create a new interface cable.

yes the sp-pasm-2 mic/preamp

All the time. sounds pretty decent, actually.

talked to doug for a long time today, he said that a 9v or 12v dvd batt will work with the jb3, as long as i get a universal end adapter..no hackin needed
