Actually Andy is right...horrible radio! I had two of them, the
first destroyed by fire ( regulator shorted inside it) Yaesu replaced
the
radio. Second one lasted 3 weeks and went dark (no fire). I tore that
piece
of crap out and replaced it with a Kenwood TM-G707A ($269) and VERY
happy.The FT90R is a turd of a radio. Read all about them on
www.eham.com
if you don't veleive what you read here...Eddie

The TM-G707A is what I use. I've owned 3 of them as a matter of fact. None
of the broke, I just got rid of the other two at various times to try
other
radios, but I've gone back to the 707 in the car.

Y'all need to work on reading comprehension when you get back from spring
break. There are better rigs than the FT-90, some even made by Yaesu, but
they are TOO BIG! A TM-G707A is 1.6 inches wider, a half inch thicker and
over 2 inches longer than a FT-90!! If space weren't a problem I'd opt for
full power rigs like ICOM's IC-208H that offers a full 50 W on 70CM or one
of YAESU's true dual banders, or whatever; but it is so ....
