finally, they put the ability to adjust mike audio level in the main menu.
you used to have to get into the service menu to change the exceedingly low 
transmit audio on those kenwood dual banders.
the TM V7A was particularly bad for having low audio.  the default setting 
was medium, or about 50 percent.
the one thing that yaesu has over everyone else is their spectacularly good 
FM audio in their VHF, UHF and dual band rigs.
I'd rather listen to a yaesu on 2M and 70CM FM than anything else almost.
