Regarding the two accessible handie-talkies mentioned yesterday, the Kenwood 
TH-FA6 and the Icom T-90A, I did some checking on the web.  I was surprised 
to learn that the Kenwood is about $70 more expensive than the Icom.  These 
HT's have been around for about seven years and are still going strong.  At 
least the Icom has a lithium ion battery, which I assume it did not have 
until a few years ago, since NiCads used to be the standard.  I wonder if 
they have been upgraded in any way since the first came out.  These 
companies used to discontinue HT's after a year or two.
