Hi all!
I am currently considering the purchase of a F80DT 21 to cover both 440 and digital public safety receive. Have not read any later reviews on the quality of the digital receive. The radio being considered as a analog firmware of 3.0 and a digital firmware of 2.6. My understanding is that this radio WILL do MDC de-coding also.
Any comments on audio quality, durability, build quality etc would be MOST appreciated. I have considered at XTS5000 but it appears the availability and cost of programming software is very much in favor of the ICOM. Bendix King and Kenwood seem to be almost double the cost.
Thanks for any and all comments.
