Hi Colin,

Thanks for your comments.  I'm kind of in the boonies out here so 50 watts would really be a good thing.  Also, thanks for the comments on the audio of the 
two radios.  If the v7 isn't made anymore then that probably really does point things to the g707.  

I have a th-f6a here so I know all about eating the mic.  <grin>

both the TM V7A and the G707 are fifty watts on high, 25 on medium and 5 on

They have fairly decent audio quality on receive, though with the TM V7A,
the TX audio is quite low...again adjustable with the service menu mod.
You just have to eat the mike to get enough audio out of it.
Awesome radios both of them though.
If you use an external speaker, or a pair of them to separate out the VHF
and UHF audio channels, it does work very well indeed.
Regards
Colin
