I see that Yaesu has just announced the FT-65R which apparently supercedes the FT-60. Looks like the screen might be easier to read by an aging dude with failing eyesight. Also I noticed that hamradio.com seems to have good prices. Has anyone bought from them? Saw a Youtube video, wherein the guy says he likes the icom because it uses AA batteries---and he might have a point in that you can carry spares. Guess the alternative would be to buy a spare rechargeable battery pack, no?
Don---which Kenwood did you have in mind?
