If you have a PX888, if left sitting on the bench for a week, it will discharge the battery down. I since placed a thin plastic sheet between the battery contacts and the radio until I need it and it works great. No premature battery discharge during storage. This method will also reduce the number of unnecessary battery recharges to extend the battery life cycle.

Do this simple test. Remove the battery and reattach it to the radio. Carefully listen to the speaker and you will hear a slight click come from it as if was turned on. That is an indication once the battery is connected, somehow there is some circuit connected that begins the battery drain.

As for an antenna upgrade, I am using the NAGOYA ( NA-771 SMA Female ) DUAL BAND ANTENNA PX-888 picked up on Ebay. Little longer than the stock but it has a 2.15 db gain and really boosts the radio performance when running on 1 watt.
