If you will use it continuously, no single battery will suffice and you'll eat a lot of alkalines. IIRC, the alkalines don't provide full power (or maybe that was one specific model - the little one: 370?). I consider the VHF to be a backup device, so I don't leave it on all the time. I only use it a couple of times a day for weather and keep the battery up for emergencies. Under those conditions, the latest ICOM Li-Ion equipped radios are much better than any NiMH radio. They have a substantial amount of power and don't lose power over time.
