	I just bought an ICOM M-11 handheld VHF tranciever.  It comes with
a removeable NiCd battery pack and a 110V recharger.  The manual says you
can charge the battery pack while it is still attached to the radio, but
you should make sure the radio is off because you might damage it.  Can
anybody think of any good reason why you shouldn't be able to run it while
plugged in?

	While playing with the scan feature, I noticed it always stops on
24 and 70, even though there isn't anything there.  Why should it do that?
It's almost as if somebody was broadcasting unmodulated carrier on those
channels.  Is that possible and/or likely, or is there a better
explanation?
