Some PocketWizard radios can be powered via an external power supply instead of AA batteries. Not all radios work with the same power supplies. It's important to identify the exact model radio you have to find the appropriate power supply. FCC (344Mhz) PocketWizards are mainly distributed in the US and Canada while CE (433Mhz) models are sold in most other countries.
