Mark,

I believe the only thing the battery in the MC-60 is needed for is powering 
the Pre-amp, not the element. In most cases you should be able to use the 
mic without the pre-amp. Indeed, it is probably preferable to do just that 
as using it will introduce more distortion and increase the possibility of 
RF getting into the audio. 73. Lou WA3MIX
