Get a Japanese-made Yaesu instead. My little 5W handheld has been flawless for years.
I already have a Yaesu that’s not why I’m interested in this radio, I can tinker and hack this cheap radio and if I screw it up it’s no big deal
Which model Yaesu HT do you have?
I have two FT2DR’s and two VX7R’s.
Great radios!
