Hi all, just checking in as a new member of the R44 team.
Picked up a Oade mod R44 the other day, haven't even had the chance to run it yet.
I read though most of the R44 threads before I decided to buy, but I can't remember this and am too lazy to wade thru everything again -- do the typical walmart style li-ion batteries work in the R44? I've got a couple 9v wally li-ion batteries, but fully charged the R44 keeps flashing "low battery". The batteries are regulated to put out exactly 9v, and that is what my voltmeter reads, but I guess that exactly 9v the R44 thinks the battery is too low?
Just double-checking on other people's experiences, but it looks like it might be time to pick up some 9.6v NiMH packs.
Looks like a very cool little recorder, can't wait to get the power issue solved and find a show to go tape.
