Hello Listers.
My old radioshack ht202 battery pack went south and will not charge any more 
so in the garbage the battery went.
The radio is so old I hate to get another pack for it and then have the 
radio stop working 4 months later.
What is a good easy 2 meater or dool bander radio that is user friendly.
I thought about the kenwood tryband ht but it's to much money to pay for an 
ht.
Thank you.
Tracy Son.
