Yaesu is not accessible. The only way you could call yaesu accessible is if
you want to program it with a computer and pretty much do nothing with it
but change memory channels and quite honestly, if that's all you're going to
do with a hand held, you might as well just get a commercial radio which
will out perform the Chinese and ham radios every single time. For the very
little I'm ever on 2 meters that's about all I use is commercial equipment.
I have one ham hand held I take to public service events for last minute
frequency changes but that's about it and it seldom comes out as much more
than a scanner.
