Hello to the group,
I recently came upon a Yaesu 7800 2M/440 mobile. I won the radio at hamfest I attended this last weekend. Some really good luck I had there. I in the past have discounted all of the ham transceivers with extended receive into the milair bands due to the fact that they are for the most part deaf in those ranges or do not allow AM mode to be selected. I compare all radios I come across to the either the Yupiteru VT-225 or Icom R8500 as they are both rock solid performers in the VHF and UHF aircraft bands. I am extremely impressed with the yaesu 7800. The radio covers 108-999Mhz and can select AM mode anywhere in the bands. In the VHF/UHF aircraft bands the radio performs at the same level as the yupiteru VT-225. To this day I have never found a more sensitive receiver for the UHF milair band other than the Yupiteru vt-225. I stumbled onto the yaesu 7800 by luck and I am very happy I did. I have used alot of other Ham rigs in the past and was never impressed with the receiver performance outside the ham bands. The 7800 is a departure from the norm and a extremely impressive receiver in the VHF/UHF airbands. Also with the separation kit you can remote mount the radio, makes for a super clean looking install. Thought i would pass this on to the group.
