Yes, we can think about this.
But you dont need to care about wear and battery life. The Radio is not using much power in relation to the whole device. And the radio didnt wear out on usage.
Btw: If you take a look inside a Evo radio or a VBar EVO, you will find, that there are no electrolytic capacitors used. Its a fully ceramic design which guarantees long lifetime of the electronics especially at high temperatures.
so long ... Uli
