Great Rig Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I have had my 242 for almost 2 years now and it works as well as day 1.... great sound from the speaker,nice crisp and clear,the mic has exellent pick up and tho I have a voice that carries very well it never sounds "hot". The control knob placements leaves a little to be desired,but is not too much of a problem... one of the best rigs I have ever owned! I tried a buddies and went the same day and picked up one..... worth every penny.

Good all around performer Time Owned: unknown months.
I have had this radio for several years now and the only reason I had to open the case for is to adjust the mic gain. I tend to speak softly. The radio performs well and is good at rejecting intermod. There is a pager tower near by and when ever I drive by my kenwood handy talky goes bizerk. The 242 continues funtioning properly through the same area. The controls are a bit small for my fingers but then most are. The modular mike connector is hard to work with when wiring tnc cable would rather of seen a standard connector.
