[Yaesu] FT50 & battery drainage

[Jurgen Geldhof]

Hi,

this is not only a Yaesu problem,  my Kenwood TH78e has this too, one week
without
using the rig and the batteries are gone...  Even when using Alkaline
batteries instead of the standard NiCad pack this happens, however the
akaline las longer...

73 es Happy New Year !
