You'll love the f6. The stock Kenwood battery doesn't have contact for a
drop in charger. I think there is a company that makes one, but you also
have to have their battery. Actually, the f6 is not a battery hog at
all, so I'd get the ht first and try it out before you get to worried
about a second battery.
