I hope guys that you understand that the price will depends of what you will ask guys but I will do everything for you


I never quite understood why so many people wanted a passthrough option when the battery life is so good with whatever options you choose on the GG. However, I do understand that everyone has different needs and sometimes you're waiting for batts to charge or for whatever other reason.Yes, we are a good team, with good ideas all the time,
also the idea of a GG passthru is a very good idea as well......
we have discussed this idea, maybe we can have this as well,
I will love to have a GG Trans passthru ---- or 2, --
Are you putting your caps on really really tight if you keep getting this issue Vaugh?I have GG Grant and GG Trans. I use both and am a 6v CR2 user 95+% of the time. I have say I use the GG Grant more in this configuration. It's smaller, so easier to carry out and about and just so well balanced. So why do I still end up using both? I ocasionaly find my atty endcaps jam and then I have to immerse in hot water to release them which can be a ten minute procedure. The Trans also unscrews midway so although jamming can occur in the end cap I can still change batteries. My preference is the hold on the Grant, however. Have to say I would like a 6v pass-thru device since battery charging /juggling is a pain which could be minimised if battery use was left only for outdoor use.

Maybe you want to put a bit of lubricant (not that kind, naughty!) on the threads before putting the caps on your Grant?
oops....Well, quite, all my problems started when I tried using Crisco on the threads
es nada, lube to the rescue once again...Don't think this is because of over tightening the caps. O.K. I will try an appropriate lubbie (it had crossed my mind). Thanks for the tip..

Since current goes through the shell, it might make sense to use something like: <http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/1UYE2> or <http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/8463.html>
I'm sure there's enough surface area for proper conduction without it but you can never have too good a connection and hey, GG owners are perfectionists, aren't they?
I read about his before. Does it really make that much difference?
I don't know the design well enough to quantify it but with small signals like audio and video this sort of thing does make a small but meaningful difference.
