Wow. I never read the directions to my ICOM A24 handhelds. They both have been
plugged into the chargers in the hangars for at least 5 years. If I need to
talk to someone, I pick them up and transmit while still plugged in. If I need
to go mobile, I unplug them and go. The units and the batte

I'm sure you're right about iCOM covering their butts, but when it comes
to something that expensive, I'm not usually willing to exp
And, btw, I got a replacement non-Icom battery with greater amp-hour
storage. However, it has to be mounted with a sledgehammer.

I called Icom about the 11.5V thing. What the engineer told me was that
is the minimum voltage, not maximum. When I said that makes not sense,
he responded, yeah, I know.
Please call them yourself and see if you can get a definitive answer.

I just sold my panel VHF. It was not going to be a good fit for a KR1 panel.
Probably will go with a handheld and external antenna. The specs are 7watts
carrier with the Icom I just sold, and 5 watts PEP for a handheld I checked
with a 1.5 watt carrier. So the apples to apples compare is 7 vs 1.
