@OnYourSix - I am in HS Sir! I can't really decide what I want to do yet... I just know that the audio quality on my 436 seems very suboptimal, and I feel like I'm missing many transmissions.. Wondering if I got one from a bad batch or something... dunno. For paging I was thinking about either the V or the VI, but I may go with the V just to save the cash. For the radio part of it, I thought about trying to find a XTS and try to read up enough to program it... or, possibly getting a Unication G5. Not sure which route I want to take. Any personal experience?
