A local here has one, you can tell when he's on because his audio sucks (low/muffled) and there's what sounds like a PLL whine along with it. Probably within 6 months the RX died which was the audio amp IC, then the UHF PA went high impedance and only puts out a fraction of a watt. The only similarity to the Yaesu model is the numbers in the name, they're very different units and for the money there's no value in getting the TYT.
