Hi Robert;

Get an extra Lion battery from Batteries America and the charger because you can charge the after market battery as well as the Kenwood battery with the Batteries America charger.

With the charger from W&W Manufacturing, you are not able to charge the Kenwood battery with there charger.

You need to use the wall cube and go through the radio.

      Ok I am kinda leaning towards this handheld, will be mulling it over 
  this weekend.  It would be used mostly around home but I do want to max its 
  usefulness when on road trips.

      This model uses the Li Ion battery and an extra one is about $50 some. 
  What is the usual operating time for this battery?  And would it be a good 
  idea to also get a double A battery holder for those times when for some 
  reason, I could not charge the Li Ion batteries?

      I have a cigarette power adaptor on my list too.  Hmmm, its description 
  doesnt say if it will charge the battery in the car.  Anyone know?

      One of you suggested a mag mount antennae.  Did a quick search at 
  hamcity and looks like the mounts are a separate item.  Could someone make a 
  recommnedation for a good mount and antennae too?

      Ok, thats it.  Now I am sure someone will chime in and cause me to 
  rethink something or another.  LOL  Thanks.  Appreciate the feedback.
