[quote=mattson]Just a note on the AAs:
We used to have a West Marine store in Ventura, CA, and there was a gal there who really knew her stuff. I was looking for a radio that had the AA battery tray for island trips, where I could be out there for 3 or 4 days with no access to power. She pointed out that you do not get the transmit power with AAs that you get with the Li-Ion battery. I never verified this, but it may be in the radio docs somewhere. Since that conversation, I go with the standard battery (minimizing use) and bring the AA tray along as backup.[/quote]
