I noticed today on Gigaparts website that the new FT 252 and FT 257 monoband handhelds are out. Running $120 each.
I'm seriously considering picking up the FT-257 for 70cm since I'm in the market for a good UHF handheld. I was going to go with the Alinco DJ-V47T since it's $99, but the new Yaesu looks like it might be a better radio. Too bad Kenwood doesn't have a UHF only handheld to compliment my TH-K20A
Since these are brand new models so there aren't any online reviews out just yet. If anyone has already purchased one (or does in the near future) I'd like to hear your thoughts on the radio, either model.
