When All Else Fails--get a Bridgecom Emergency Bundle!

Amateur Radio General Discussion forum is this? I didn't think I needed to specify ham radio equipment on this forum. Okay, give me a list of currently produced handheld radios intended for AMATUER RADIO USE that have AA battery cases other than the UV-5 radios.

Here's your list that I took about 10 minutes and found for you of radios that run on AA batteries

Yaesu FT5DR
Yaesu FT-60R
Yaesu VX-6R
Icom IC-V80 Sport
Icom IC-V86
Icom ID-52A
Kenwood TH-D74A
Kenwood TH-K20A
Alinco DJ-V57T/E

And the old Radio Shack HTX-202 or HTX-404

Touche' for spending time to look that up. The three cell packs for the high dollar radios drop the power pretty low, but I imagine sales of those are pretty low. I had Icom radios that used the cases that the HTX radios used. Six and eight cell packs for long camping and backpacking trips.
