With Motorola in the picture now, is there any chance Yaesu will make a new version of the FT-60R using the VX-170/177 chassis?
The loud audio of the VX-170 is a HUGE advantage to me. I often listen to the radio in noisy environments where only the VX-170 is loud enough for me to hear. The big screen is nice too.
I once tested a VX-7R that belonged to a friend of mine. Not counting the weak speaker audio, the complexity of that radio was a big turn off. I have a feeling the new VX-8R will only be worse in this regard.
Your thoughts?
