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 do however prefer Kenwood for HF. -n6ojn |

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. |
