Hi.

Before I ask my question, I need to clarify two things.  First, this is a
present that I purchased for myself.  Second, and perhaps more important to
me, my financial advisor, also known as Mom, has threatened to kill me if I
order anything else.  I'd say I'll just move, but the delivery dude wouldn't
know where to bring the radio, so I'll stay here and risk the Wrath of Mom.
(Hey, wasn't that the name of the second Star Trek movie? <grin>)

I've listened to the tutorial that Handiham has on the radio, and it seems
easy enough to operate, but I do have a question.  The tutorial mentions
that there is a drop in charger for the battery packs you can get for this
radio.  Does anybody have information about this charger, such as how much
it is, and where can I get it?  I have a Radio Shack HT that I'm gonna sell,
and one thing I like about it is that you can charge the battery without it
being connected to the radio.  I purchased a second battery for it, and I've
yet to run into the situation where both batteries are dead, because I
always have one charged and ready to use.  I plan on buying a second battery
for the new HT, and I'd like a way of charging it while using the radio.  I
could always buy a second TH-F6A and use it exclusively as a charger, but
that would be real expensive, and I wouldn't have to worry about any radios,
because of my early death from an antenna strangulation.  Wonder how much
time Mom would get for a justified killing of her son?

That's about it from me.  I'm getting excited about this radio, and I should
have it Friday or Monday.
