Thanks guys. This is just what I need. Thats very interesting about what the mah means. I think I will go with a pack that is between 1100 and 1500 mah depending on the cost. I'll also look into those BP associates. Once I get a pack, what do I use to charge it with? Can I use my JR trickle charger that came with my last radio or do I need to get a new one? I can always use my quick field charger, but I like to trickle charge whenever possible.

Thanks again,
