comp programming is great. the battery takes, about 6 hours to charge and 
lasts a long time. Probably the best battery life of any HT, it's the best 
I've had. It varies based on transmit time of course, but I use mine a lot 
in the summer especially on my 2 week vacation every year and generally I 
charge it every night, not because I have to but because I don't want to 
have to the next day but I have got almost 2 days out of it. In fact, we had 
a RACES activation here in October and I was on for 16 hours 3 or 4 nights 
in a row and I turned the F66A on as I was getting dressed, used it to let 
them know I was on the way, left it on the hole shift there some 
transmitting, on low power but still, and all the way home and got it on the 
charger again and it didn't show any signs of the battery going dead. that 
was probably a total of 178 to 19 hours a day it ran at least 2 of those 
days and I only charged it the rest of the time while I was asleep.
