There's a number of FT-736 owners out there, I am one of them, and I just recently picked up a 222
module for it, *_AND_* I just got a KB5KQ loop so don't write off 222. 

Now why doesn't everyone take a stab at the big three, Kenwood, Yaesu & ICOM and ask them where
there support of building more radios with 222 in them.  Or they waiting for the FCC to auction
that off too so they can sell more LMR radios than amateur radios.

Sorry I digress.
