No issue with your take, Barry. It is a great radio. I just remember all the hoopla and chatter about how terrible it was to be discontinued, and how many said they were disappointed because they wan
Thanks for your take, Eric. Time will tell !! ;-) I was hoping to get it to one of the guys on this reflector, rather than just sell it to some "stranger" in the larger market who may not already lov

Good Story, Rick. Sounds like you could use a headset and foot switch... but then did say you are swearing off sideband contests ... again ... ;-) I wonder if you could gain better rig control using

Golly... seems like a lot of fuss over nothing much. My friends and I all have these little HTs, and we had no problems setting up about 100 channels using the included programming software. I guess
