Thanks to all that posted. I really appreciate the info. It looks like the
302 gets the nod.

I was somewhat surprised that the 394 was not that well liked.

Again, I really appreciate everyone taking the time to answer my question.

Much respect,

How much is the 302?? If it's even close to 100 bucks, just say nooooo!
Save your money and buy any one of a half dozen far superior radios and
actually have something worth keeping for a while.

Icom R71a's and Kenwood R5000's can be had off of Ebay for about 300
bucks, HRC NRD 525's for about 400 or so, and 535's for 5-700. Kenwood
R2000's, Yaesu FRG7700 and 8800's are around 300.

Don't toss money away for a sad POS radio that can be outperformed by a
used portable that cost less new than the 302 did.

Don't make the same mistake I did..
