Over the last 25 years, I have owned dualband radios from all the big companies. Whichever I bought at the time I thought was the best available from anybody. I've always had a dual display radio since they first came out. Right now I have 3 Icom 2720's, because I feel they are the best. When I bought them, the Yaesu 8800 was also out, but the buttons weren't backlit, so I passed on it. I realize the 2820 is out now, but I'm not into D-star, so I'm sticking to the 2720. When they were available, the Standard radios were absolutely the best, but also the most expensive. No intermod, even in downtown Miami. I have not been to downtown Miami since I've owned the 2720's, but between West Palm Beach, & Ft. Lauderdale, they have been fine. GARY N4KVE
