The ICOM suffers from battery drain when switched off (an I keep it in the Grab Bag, so this is a problem for me).
The Entel on the other hand does all I want it to do, but will not take AA cells.
I agree.
Entel came out as best buy in YM survey. Understand the request for battery replacement but more important to me though is to get one that's waterproof.
I would go Entel but only switch it on when I need it
I think they do come with a cigarette 12V plug that could be wired direct to any 12V battery.
