There is a discussion on the yahoo group re the Yaesu VX-7. It is that the
silver color has reflective properties and in consequence inhibits a larger
RF signal being transmitted thought the same power of radio.

I think that in the same turn, a silver color of receiver will grab the RF
going into the radio and not let it reflect back out and thus 'sponging'
more RF signals and making a better radio all around.

One member said that the rubber antennas are better as well since during TX,
the RF signals bounce off the antenna and thus travels farther.

Those are some amazing ideas.
Did you ever hear a difference after coloring the edges of your CDs with a
green magic marker?
