Hello. Have newly registered, but have been reading the forums for a while. I've not been able to find this kind of information on these two radios, but have a couple of questions that maybe someone will know.
Is the TK-8360H a newer radio than the 8180H? If so, I've wondered why it has 128 channels, whereas the 8180H has 512 channels?
Are there any advantages to one of these models over the other? I'll primarily be using it on GMRS. I have the 8360H and have been using it on GMRS, but am wondering if there is any benefit to also getting the 8180H? If I can find the H version of either model in 400-470 MHz, I may program it for GMRS, as well as some repeaters on the 70cm ham band. (Mine is 470-520 MHz.)
Thanks much,
Steve
