Default Best 2m/70cm handies?

Hi all,

What's the best choice currently on the market for a 2m/70cm handheld
with some additional all-mode rx on other bands?
thanks,
p.

Thanks. But it's a bit *small* to say the least. Can it really do all
that stuff that's claimed and still produce intelligible audio??

Yes.
I had one, my only reason for getting rid of it was the complexity of
programming it.
I went to a standard 2m handheld.

Total piece of crap...we have the VX7 and the THF 7E...the Yaesu wins hands
down...the wideband mod & good quality audio on PMR are the only plus's the
Kenwood has to offer......

Well it also depends on what you require as an individual, I am just about
to purchase the Yaesu ft60, it is reasonable price, good rx extra coverage
and the main plus for me is that it used AA batteries so I can buy a
seperate case and use all my rechargable batteries, thus giving lot,s of
cheap capacity as the spare lithium packs cost a fortune.

Track down an old Yaesu FT-51R. Compact enough to be small, yet big enough
so you don't need a toothpick to push the buttons. Keypad is intuitive and
easy to learn. Plenty of memory, tones, power levels, and the like.
Rugged -- I ran over mine twice with my truck, it was buried in mud by
Katrina, and it has been generally abused all its life, yet, it keeps on
ticking.
