Me? I carry my handheld in my chart bag and just put the little rascals
into
the charger once a month or so. Haven't had a failure yet and I've been
using
them for 5 or 6 years. BTW, haven't replaced one in 5 or 6 years, either,
and
they still seem to have about the same battery life as when they were new.

Thanks for the primer, Jim.

Hopefully I'll never need to test them again, but our old hand-held sure
came in handy when we had a complete com failure flying into Minneapolis one
night in an ancient Apache...
