Hi.

Well, I'd like to think that new blood might change something, but I've 
never liked Yaesu equipment from day one.  I realize that is like saying 
that I don't like to buy a Chevy, and others will feel differently, but 
I've just never felt that their radios were particularly good, and that is 
going back to the late 1970's.

73, de Lou K2LKK
