Tim R <timothy42b@aol.com>: May 27 06:53AM -0700 I've had a Nikon 400 laser rangefinder for a number of years now, probably 10 to 12, something like that. We use it infrequently for measuring distance - how far did that Frisbee throw or golf shot go, how far away is that building, etc. It's very useful for sports, none of us hunt any more.   Originally a battery lasted at least couple of years. CR2s are about $10 each, so that wasn't bad.   Now it's a couple of weeks. They seem to discharge when not being used. Is that characteristic of an older electronic device, that it may develop some small leakage current over time. I can leave the battery out until I need it, but I'm curious.

I assume wider copper foil is available from elsewhere. She said you could load any data , not necesssary to use their propretary stuff

Wow, sounds very simple, and avoids paying Rogers about $1 per square inch!   OK, I will have to tell my contact about this, it looks like a real solution to a problem. Now, one little detail is how well the copper foil will stick to the base material after a bunch of flexing, etc. if the copper starts to come loose, combine that with Lithium 18650 batteries and we could have a nice fire!   Jon

(The women folk are on my case.)   Maybe I could give a lesson on 'women folk on my case'. No Honey Do List, it's a "dead line list". I made it through Tuesday (LMAO).

(The women folk are on my case.)   I would not wash the new board. Place it where the old board was. I would collect $5 for every complaint. If they don't like that then tell them to go to the stream with their rocks.   -- Tekkie
