Anyone have
experiences w/ the Yaesu's?


My wife sells them in her pilot shop. Great units, people love them.
Very compact and light weight, water resistant. The 710 is more compact
than the cheaper 300 and runs on LiIon batteries. If you use it as an
emergency back-up, get the battery box for non-rechargables, since they
will hold charge much longer.

Thanks Thomas BTW, my little brother is named Thomas also 8^)

What's Yaesu's latest and smallest com only model out right now? Price
and size? How much shipping to east coast? Cheaper 4 me to buy
locally maybe? Is quality competitive with Icoms?

Thanks again,
Monk
