That's right; therefore I use the BP-197 with three 2300 mAh Ni-MH
batteries. Very good solution!

There are a lot of other HT's who are very good as well, however the main
reason why I have two IC-T81E is that they have 23 cms onboard which is very
useful to me. Most of the other HT's don't have this band.

real popular mode/band. The command dial, is poorly designed.it is hard to
use. I think Icom discontinued this model.  I personally have the Kenwood
th-g71a. Icom makes some great handhelds, my ICOM 02-at still works. I would
look at other models.
