Re: What Are My Battery Options?
How would using a speaker mic save your battery? You still have to drive the audio.

Re: What Are My Battery Options?
Hi. Is that 2,100mAh pack you mention compatible with the Yaesu drop-in charger? Thanks Chris

Re: What Are My Battery Options?

Re: What Are My Battery Options?
Unless one lives in Antarctica, I have no idea why hams are infatuated with Li-Ion battery packs ... (g)?They do perform better in frozen conditions. But they will last only about 3-350

I have been running 2700mAH Maha NiMH cells in a FBA-25 case for years ... BUT - I also have improved my antenna, and regularly turn TX power DOWN to 2W. If one isn't making it at 2W and a better

Yes! I have a FT-60R, as well, and when my original battery no longer held a charge for as long as I would have liked, I bought a new battery from BATTERIES AMERICA. They have a battery that matches

Re: What Are My Battery Options?
Chris, I am sure some folks will add comments regarding the available options. I have had no issues with the standard battery. I have had to replace the battery due to age. I guess I got about 5 or 6

Re: Transmit pl problem
I would check to make sure the tone is set on the transmit side and no tone on the receive side. Is there any receive light that comes on after you key up then release the repeater? Can you hear the
