I agree... "Don't touch..."

That guy looks like a goober.

how is the transmit audio on this radio? Have you had good reports of your transmit audio from other stations?

[brybish]

if you don't want a ham to touch it don't try to sell it to em!!

@tehklutzking: When I bought my FT 250 from HRO in Oakland they had all there mobile radios hooked up so you could actually talk on em and I was encouraged to please look around the store and tryout the radios if I wanted. That guy from Yaesu should take a lesson.

I have never used a radio, but am very interested and have been told to check out a hamfest. I now live near Dayton, is this a good show to check out? Do you know if they are having one this year?

If you do not want a ham to touch the radio

put it in a plastic or glass case

not sitting out on display

peace :)

True...

I used a moto for years...

It will make a dent in the conrete because it weights as much as a brick and as big as one also. Hamburger boxes are good for commercial use, where it won't likely be mis placed, but not for consumer use.
