I'm thinking about purchasing a couple of new HTs for the XYL and I to carry around but I'd like to make sure that whatever I get works well with the birds.
Being that APRS is a must I narrowed down my choices to the Yaesu VX-8DR and the Kenwood TH-D72A. If I were just using the radio for terrestrial purposes I'd probably go with the Yaesu as the addition of 6m and 1.25m is a great feature for me. If you have one of these units and have used it on the birds I'd love to hear your feedback. 73, Eric W4OTN _______________________________________________ Sent via AMSAT-BB@amsat.org.
