The AN/PRT-4 transmitter runs on 15 volts. I use two 9v batteries in series.
If you can find a dead BA-399/U, put the 9v batts inside it and it will plug
right onto the AN/PRT-4
The matching AN/PRR-9 receiver runs on either 3.2 or 5 volts depending on
early vs late version. The ones I have run OK on 9 volt battery, though - I
choose a weak 9v cell - which will fit directly into the metal clip.
Any questions, just let me know...
