Batboard

Has anyone heard of a central/south American
radio by this name? Somewhat smaller than
HT1250, uses Lithium Ion battery.. possibly
new 'version' of Visar. Like small size of
Visar, but battery life is not enough with
small battery.

Thanks,

Tim

Check this link, it fits the description you gave, but don't know anything about the minnow.

This is a smaller version of the HT750. I believe the EX600 is the same as the HT1250. We had a few of the EX500's on loan while our other radio's were in the shop. The guys didn't seem to like them. It sound like the problem was really the belt clip holster that they had with them. Otherwise I don't know too much about them.
