I noticed that the speaker/mic jack on the GXT1000 also has an input for charging.
The Mic jack seems to double as a CHG jack as well. It is mentioned on Page 16 of the paper manual "Note: You can charge a rechargeable NIMH battery pack through the CHG jack".
Thing is, I don't see any specs or any accessory to take advantage of recharging this way. Has anyone done it?
I will admit that I'll probably never use the dinky proprietary 700mah pack with this radio as having 4 AA's as a power option was one of the big reasons I chose it. But still, I'm curious if anyone has recharged through the mic jack, and if so, what the specs are...
