I am looking for the following in a handheld:
-Good front end selectivity/sensitivity under moderate/high RF conditions.
-Full duplex (cross band is fine- for use with rptr systems)
-Display visible in daylight without backlight
-$300 or lower cost
I have tried the Wouxun KG-UV8D and it failed. Feedback while duplexing even with earpiece, display BLACK in daylight without backlight, front end 100% underwhelming.
Options I may have found so far:
- (possibly)Yaesu FT-1DR (poor reviews of interface- no vol/sq access outside of menus etc)
- Yaesu FT-51r - Yaesu FT-51R Amateur HT, Yaesu FT51R
Any suggestions appreciated-
Clifford
