I like it!  Time owned: 0 to 3 months
This is a good old radio. Everything seems to work okay. If anyone can help me find a manual I would be very happy. Thank you

Envy  Time owned: 3 to 6 months
I call this envy, because maybe 12 years ago when they came out, I envied everyone who had one.

Ever pick up a Yaesu VX-150? Feels thick and sturdy. This radio does too. But back in it's day it was well ahead of the time.

I guess I should mention I got mine used on e-Bay.

The batteries are a bit tough to get, but you can get a very reasonable price at batteryjack.com. This radio is under land mobiles not amateur there. A 700mah 7.2v cost me less than 25.00 .

The radio is small and feels good, sounds good, and is a 5 in my book.

Not modern but worth owning if you like the old brick style in a small metal case.

73, Kevin

Great Hand-Held!  Time owned: more than 12 months
Probably the best hand-held I've ever owned. It's durable and made with a real metal case, unlike some of the newer HTs out now that have plastic cases. You can enter the frequencies in directly by the keypad. Has various scanning modes.

An all around great HT!
