I'm kinda thought that this might be a newer model that uses power from the radio.

I got the PDF manual, and it talks about removing four screws to get at the battery compartment. But the bottom of my unit has six screws, four of which hold the rubber feet to the case. I took all the screws out except for the two screws holding what I think is the impedance switch but can't get the bottom plate off. The fit is so snug I can't insert the blade of a screwdriver to pry it off.
