you know what...
using low whiskey... to hit the repeater.. and they gave me R4/S8.. wow..
but for 3.0DB TX for HT was very big..
I need to get PTT mic for this HT..

I like the clear audio for RX and TX.. more clear than my VX-8DR (still at hospital..)
dual monitor, can listen to your favourite FM radio (like hotfm or sinarfm), marine band, TV (audio only.. no picture laa...)..
But the menu setup was little bit confusing.. coz it's put on a group...
like the way VX-8DR setup menu.. alphabetic order.. easy to find...
but there were shortcut combination button to press to go to the menu.. well.. not very helpfull...


ARTS (AUTOMATIC RANGE TRANSPONDER SYSTEM)..
still play with this one.. to communicate with my FT-8900R.. look nice.. :D


more to come??? yeah... thinking of HF set now.. he he he...
but need to let-go some of my toy...
