Thank you all for your inputs the Yaesu radios. Next step is for
me to physically see and feel the difference between the Icom and the
Yaesu and do a value (bang for bucks) comparison. Next visit to the
airport, I'll see if i can try them at the FBO.

You know, I don't think I have seen anyone mention what I consider a couple
of the most important things, to me

One, is what the method of selecting a frequency is. If you have to push a
button that raises the frequency one step at a time, you have to sit there
and wait, and watch as it scrolls around to what you want. Pain in the but,
I think. I like a keyboard to enter the numbers.

Second, is how easy is it to put a frequency into memory. If it is not
something you do often, is it going to be difficult to remember the sequence
of buttons to get the right things flashing and entered, whatnot, to get the
job done?
