[aprssig] Cheap HTs

[Scott Miller]

I don't know if I've ever timed one that was completely discharged.  I 
usually have them on there for 2 or 3 hours at a time, but I rarely run 
them down past about half.

The battery price might be going up a little (my cost has already gone 
up) but they're still about half what you pay for a NiMH battery most 
places.

I have more confidence in the PX-777 I keep in the door of my car and 
only charge every few months than the TH-D7A with two battery packs that 
I try to keep topped up.
