[aprssig] Best TH-D7A after-market battery

[Michael J. Wolthuis]

I too have been looking for new battery options.  I have the Kenwood 
BC-19 drop-in charger though.  Can either the Batteries America or the 
Maha battery be charged with this or must they use their own custom charger?

Thanks,
Mike
