RE: AM vs. FM
Also, be sure not to mix JR and non-JR chargers and TX's, the polarity of the plug is reversed.
But, I have several old JR chargers from some old AM systems, and I still use them on my new FM stuff now. A charger is a charger (for nicads anyway), as Dennis said, as long as the voltage and current (and polarity) are what you need, you'll be fine.
