Thanks, Pizzaman. The T22A is a 2m unit and as mentioned I think I want a dual bander. FWIW, I've bought stuff from that battery pack company (E. H. Yost) before with no problems, though not that particular product. I still have an IC-P4AT, and lost in the mists I have an IC-2AT somewhere. I don't think the proprietary packs for those radios are even available any more, but I bought the AA packs for them when I bought the radios. So, I'm pretty determined to stick with AA-powerable units.

Actually if I go berserk, I might skip the whole tiny HT thing and get an FT-817. That would solve a lot of these issues all at once.
