Problems! Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
Disappointing! Ergonomics are poor for example :The dual function keys, quick press for one function, long press for second function are frustrating in the extreme. Having to scroll through numerous Air bands to get from 2m to 70cms was a nuisance.
Receive audio quality was terrible and scratchy, it improved if I tuned slightly off channel indicating bad detector alignment.
Receiver was full of pager intermod, made 145.500 calling channel unusable and 145.600 a local repeater unusable also. Bearing in mind that my location is rural this was most unexpected and something that I never had with my TM255E.
In short, my fathers TMG707 bought second hand on eBay is a much better set, save your money and look out for one!

amazing !! Time Owned: more than 12 months.
well done from Yaesu, this little double band doesn't cost a lot, only 250 euro in Rome Italy.
It shows only the important things you need for communicate, a very large frq counter and a clear s-meter. Very simple but so many good, we could say "buy and call".
Real 50 watts out, it doesn't a matter for him...fan works well, never feel hot on his cover. great RX also !!! get one! you'll never want go back
