Awesome but be wary of ver 1 units

Time owned: 3 to 6 months

I have a pair of EFJ5100's on VHF and one UHF. These are awesome radios but beware of the early legacy version 1's. The version number is displayed when powered up. Most of the ones on Ebay are older ver 1 units. They have various issues mainly RF getting back into the radio controller and it acting erratic (such as locking up on TX, displaying garbage on the display, etc). They are also no longer supported by EFJ.
Otherwise, the later revisions are EXCELLENT radios. You won't be dissapointed.

rugged, indestructable, great rig better than any "ham rig" out there in both tx/rx and durability. Backlit keys, enough channels for each 2m freq pair and then some..
