go here for an online editor... CCC editor for typhoon H - by Eric EMMANUEL
also the file is text... you can read it in notepadf before putting it on the st16
I believe if you're in common areas of major storms, investing in a satellite phone would be a must. Keep it up to date, test it once in a while, then store it a way.
as for the charging of the batteries... I purchased a Tenergy TB6AC to charge all my batteries... I have a Typhoon H along with two original Q-500's... works with all of them...
