  That’s a nice radio. It has memory banks, which are essential for managing the 1000 channels it holds. For some reason, Yaesu stopped putting memory banks in their newer radios. The US version is tri band, which is nice if you have any 1.25m repeaters nearby. The batteries are a bit expensive though.

    There is a great YouTube series about the features on this radio, including the memory banks, just wrapping my head around it right now. But it does seem like a great way to organize everything, seems strange to remove something so useful

  I have one. And all the accessories. It’s a great radio. Get the diamond tri band antenna and it will get out much better than stock.

      I not sure Diamond was $60 or so.

      I’m down in Hocking hills, Ohio and that little radio is our only comms point out of here because cell service down here in Logan and Hocking county is not the greatest
