How do you like the radio? I'm leaning toward the Yaesu FTM350...but the Kenwood 710 has a lot of the same features. I have a FT60 so I'm familiar with the Yaesu menu system.
Lee...I purchased a 97 last year 2k over market. It had 42K on the clock. I am sure there are better deals out there but you'll spend time looking, and may settle after some frustration. I'd pull the trigger and enjoy. It has half on the mikes on the clock of others its age.

Thanks...ay...I wanted to go but after spending most of Friday working on the LC my wife wasn't crazy about the idea. Sounds like CSC's are making it out on the trail more. I'll hit the next one.
