hi there newgroups, i live in Australia im looking for either a yaesu
kenwood icom or similar 2 meter for my mobile with dtmf mic preferably if
anyone in the usa etc has 1 I would pay shipping to Australia .thanks in
advance David nsw Australia .


Since you are in Australia and you probably do not have a Yaesu repair
facility close by I would stay away from their crap radios.
Their VHF/UHF mobiles are known for poor performance, poor reliability and
just crappy built quality.
I have owned radios from all the major manufactures and Kenwood, along with
Icom are some of the best for the dollar.

A "Bullet-Proof" mobile for the money ($269 US) is the Kenwood TM-G707A.
Good performance all around.

While others say the same about Kenwood radios..........
