Thanks for all the ideas and links! I have a 2012 FT-60R and the EXT DC socket on the side both runs the radio (with or without the battery) and charges the battery. The newer ones (I have bought 3

I use just the 12V cord from Yaesu and hook on to a 12V supply or Gel Cell Battery - I have used the Gel cells during long power outages. I have 2 8AH batteries - runs the HT for days. 73 -- KQ?J

Re: Charging the FT-60 with the desktop cradle or is there another way?
I would like to keep my FT-60R on constantly and scanning the frequencies I'm interested in. Does anyone know a safe way to power the HT constantly while it is on. I don't want to use up the batteries
