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.

I personally have never had a problem with *any* Yaesu radio that I
currently own, or have owned in the past. I like their VHF, and dual band
radios. I do however prefer Kenwood for HF.

I've had no problems with MOST of my Yaesu stuff, having sold it on quite
soon after getting.

However I did buy a NEW Yaesu scanner about 5 years ago.

Back to dealer screwed up. NEW replacement supplied.
That went back to dealer screwed up. NEW replacement supplied.
This one sometimes throws a wobbly and needs a reset but at least it does
work (at the moment)

Never had a problem with Icom and their support here in UK is superb- email
questions answered, copies of manuals supplied FREE for second hand
equipment (when its not on their site). Can't fault 'em.
