Only their ham gear, their commercial gear is the opposite way with most 
commercial radios these days. I have a lot of Kenwood commercial gear, I'm 
slowly migrating that way for what little uhf/vhf I do so I can use it for 
emergency management stuff, actually get my money's worth out of radios. My 
latest ham HT's have generally been ones that need minor repairs or one has 
a cracked display which is a yaesu ft-10R and that has the antenna connector 
the commercial way oddly enough.
