I'm working on getting active again, and I need batteries for my two
handhelds. I've got a Yaesu FT-23R and an ICOM 24-AT. I've found
batteries
on the web for the FT-23R, but I've not had success with the 24-AT. I see
packs for the ICOM 2-AT, which I believe would fit the 24-AT, but I'd like
to _know_ before I plunk down a whole bunch of $$.


Do you really want to get a new battery for an old rig?

A new battery = $50 or so.
A new single-band HT = $125

If your old rigs can't do CTCSS tones, then chuck them. Most repeaters in
big cities require such tones.
