I don't think we're saying they're not good radios, although even Yaesu
fans admit they have quality control problems, but the point I'm making is
accessibility. I don't care if it is the best radio ever made and it only
costs two hundred dollars, if it isn't accessible to me, what good is it
to me? I haven't seen the radio I won, but so far from what folks have
written, it won't do me much good which makes me sad as it covers 160
through 440 and has a lot of bang for the buck. My main problem with
Yaesu is their attitude ow unwillingness to put in speech. I guess the
450 has it, but none before have and the technology is cheap and been
around for years. My 440 I bought back in 85 had a speech option. The
last Yaesu I owned, I think was a 980, not sure of the number, owned it
back in early 80s. I owned it for a year and 6 months out of that year it
spent in the shop. I just wish I'd won a radio that talked.
