Hello Everyone,
I have some questions about the VR-500 from Yaesu.
In your opinions, is this receiver a good buy. I already have a handheld for trunking and my town is only conventional as well as surrounding small towns.
However, id like to have a receiver that will do SSB.
I have previously considered the Alinco DJ-X7T but changed my mind on it due to (poor battery life & audio).
The Yaesu VR120-D (Lacks NFM which according to what ive read is required for most general listening?)
and finally the ICOM R5 - Which ive heard good things and bad things, and then the fact it is listed as no support for NFM.
So i ask you, in light of all the other radios would spending $300 on the VR500 be worth it or should i just get the BR330T?
Thanks.
