If the real portability and the 2M&70CM bands aren't really important to
you, the 703+____________Late Model, so that all the problem mods have
either been done or the need for them eliminated, is the radio to get. make
sure you get the ut102 voice cynth chip, it's a simple plug in situation,
the filters are a little trickier---if you get a new radio, have the seller
install the items. HTH, dd
