I bought mine brand new back in 2013 when i got my first license. I sold it last year coupled with a small switching psu and a Diamond X30 antenna and some other bits. But now i want it back because all the new radios look weird and i don't particularly like any of them. Can't seem to find a used one so far, and i don't want the chinese clone. Great little radio, i agree it's the best looking Yaesu mobile radio in their lineup. Great layout and many buttons available to control the radio. Nice sound from the speaker as well. I wish it wasn't discontinued. 73s.
I love mine. With the separation kit, the removable head takes up very little room on your dash and as you said it looks great. Only flaw so far, I turned it on last week and all memories and user settings had been wiped. No idea why. That'll keep me busy for a while.. Great little mobile dual bander though.
Thanks for sharing this with us. Very informative and helpful.. I'd like to buy one BUT I've heard so many Bad Comments about the Chinese Clone that I'm hesitant to go for it. I wish I could Know if there's another ways to identify "Which One is Original " ..... Hopefully I find someone here to Help me out with some info. 73s from KJ4BGW
