I've heard that also. Built like a tank and excellent filtering on that
rig, but as such, no wide receive. (however, that's why we all own
scanners as well.) I stand to be corrected on this; but does it not also
take certain Icom slide-on batteries?

The HTX-202 is one of the best radios for hi-RF areas because it is
narrow band (2 meter only) and it has the right combination of IF
frequencies to keep the intermod down. Try one--they're pretty
inexpensive these days. Yost Batteries sells a great battery pack for
them that will hold 8 AA nimh cells. They are built like a tank.

* hi:*
**
* Looking for comments on 2 meter HT or 144/440mhz HT*
**
* Which models are best for high RF areas ?? Every HT i've had at
my location is either*
* overloaded ( desensed ) or has intermod on all frequencies.*
**
* I have used a number of HT's here, including the Yaesu FT-530,
Yaesu VX-5R.*
**
* I don't need a radio that covers DC to light. Just
144-148mhz or 144 - 148mhz /440 - 450mhz*

* Thank You*
