And it has 2 meters also!


Agree, very nice and it would be a great radio for when you are way out in
the middle of nowhere with an emergency. You can always contact a plane
flying over to relay your position and situation to local authorities and
not have to rely on a Ham 2 meter repeater being nearby. Very cool radio
and nice size and battery life too.

Um, yah, but your quote would seen to say otherwise...

So tell me again ... what does it do that my VX-5 won't do? For less
money?
