This one it's still you know handheld you can't touch it you can't wrap your hand around it and touch your two fingers together in the front of it or nothing. It's a fat battery. But I wouldn't like to say the port is on the battery itself. I've got two other radios here that charge the UVC as well. That's the MML radio 8811 that charges with Type-C. And the Klonshank UVK-5 that charges with Type-C. Now the 8811, the Type-C port is on the bottom of the battery just like the new MD3 battery. And on the Klonshank you open a little flap on the side and the Type-C is on the radio itself. But you can't use it while it's charging. And all the other ones you can use it while they're charging because that's just charging the battery itself. It's not even the radio that's getting power from the battery so you can charge those while you're using it. Just plug in the little cable on the bottom. You've got to lay the radio kind of down flat when you're using it because the cable sticks out the bottom. But yeah, it's cool, man. I mean, in terms of I'm concerned, all these radios should have Type-C. It's just so easy to charge them and you don't need anything particular. You know, if your power is out and you've got a battery bank that's there, you can plug your HD into a battery bank and charge it up. It doesn't matter. Or, you know, just a little wall wart with a USB sticking out of it or, you know, a multi-charger or whatever you've got, you know, that has Type-C. Plug it into your computer if you want, for God's sake, and with a Type-C cable.
