As posted above, I am just wondering what accessories people here would suggest as being "must have" for the Yaesu FT1XD. I have had the radio for a while, but haven't used it a whole lot.
Right now, I am considering the following accessories:
-CD41 Rapid Charger
-FNB101LI Battery
-SHB13 Spring Loaded Belt Clips
-Replacement Antenna
Can anybody else here with experience using the Yaesu FT1XD suggest any other must have accessories? I will say that charging the battery with the OEM charger takes way too long, thus the desire for the CD41 Rapid Charger.
With regards to batteries, I have generally had a second battery for most portables that
I have owned and used.
I think the OEM batteries come with a non-spring loaded belt clip. I do prefer the spring loades type, thus the desire for a couple of those.
I did a separate post on the replacement antenna. The OEM antenna seems underwhelming. So far, I have been eyeing up a Diamond SRH77CA. I do need to verify that this is compatible with the Yaesu FT1XD, however.
