I've done some searching in this forum (and a few other places) and come up empty, so I thought I'd ask. Does this HT have general life expectancy? The reason I'm suspicious of my 20+ year old unit is due to battery life across a number of batteries, some of them new or <1 year old. I've tried both HRO and cheaper Amazon batteries, and they don't hold a charge well. My charging cradle shows a steady green light on all of them so I don't think it's the battery or the cradle. I haven't been on the air much due to work but when I am, battery life caves, even if I'm not transmitting. My Tx is on Low and the Power Saver feature is enabled. And when power is low, obviously Tx is negatively affected. I'd appreciate any guidance on this matter, including other investigations I might conduct to determine the problem. Thanks!
