Hans,

What's your take on the "MIL-STD 810" compliance of some Yaesu gear?



Good marketing. MIL-STD 810 related to shock, vibration, salt spray, etc.
It is unrelated to any "performance" criteria.

The HT's involved probably have their design roots in a military contract
which required that level of durability, so crediting the testing into their
COTS product offering is good marketing practice.
