Eric,
Call me regarding the HT1250, we all sorts and flavors of these radios in VHF & UHF. I will have my cellular on today.

I guess I'll keep looking for a conventional 1250. I've noticed what you're saying about some of the ones on eBay lately. One of the ones I was watching, the buyer/winner never followed thru, and I'm guessing this might have been the reason. Probably why they're (LS) also going for $200 or so. Also, thanks to the other gentleman for suggesting the HT1550 and FP battery. I haven't seen any 1550s for sale lately, but I'll watch for one.
