Kenwood THF-6A question??? Drop-in charger??
I was ready to buy one of these and at the last minute
figured out that it doesn't have a drop-in quick charger. I couldn't believe it. Does anyone know if they are going to redo this part of the radio? Are there any other Lith-Ion HTs out there (Even Dual- Band) with drop-in quick chargers? Other than Yaesu's quad band. |
Hey :
*** I would have responded to you privately, but since your hiding your identity; I guess I'll have to pass this information on to you through this public forum. *** Their is only one company that I know of* (because I bought 2 Drop-in Kenwood TH-F6A charges from them at the 2003* Dayton Hamvention) that makes a totally DROP IN RAPID charger for the Kenwood TH-F6A HT. This unit uses their special batteries, which have been modified with charging contacts on the batteries back/bottom side; enabling the unit to be charged with the batteries attached to the back of the TH-F6A HT, by just dropping it in. *** The drop-in charger is called a MASTERCHARGER IL, the batteries are 1800mAh Li-ion 7.4V M/N PB-42L.* This unit is manufactured by a company called: W&W Manufacturing. 800 South Broadway, Hicksville, NY. 11801-5017 (800) 221-0732. http://www.ww-manufacturing.com *** They sell the Drop-in Charger unit with a 1800mAh battery combo for $99.** Extra 1800mAh batteries are ~ $50 each. *** As for the batteries that are, NOT TRULY DROP-IN, at* WWW.BATTERIESAMERICA.COM - AKA Mr. Nicad. If this is that snub, arrogant, A'Hole; that sells at our local hamfests, from a setup of wheeled table carts, covered with pumpkin orange table cloths.* I personally wouldn't buy SH'T from him, after the assitude he was dishing out, at our last hamfest.* A word of advice Mr. Battery Man.* When your in the business of selling, it only makes sense to be nice to the people, potential customers, that you are trying to sell to.* If your not selling many batteries at the hamfests, maybe you should look at your current pricing, and adjust it down to meet the current market; instead of getting all ****y because the other battery sales vendors are beating you down with a stick.* Or here's a better idea, just don't bother showing up at any of our Chicago area hamfests anymore.* I for one won't miss you.
