They have a poor tech support system for the existing costumers. I'm not
positive but I'm sure I heard some good reviews about the 847. At least I
think you can get talk software for it. You certainly can't check with
anyone at the company about such things since for the most part, they're
third world representatives who would just assume snag your personal info so
as they can use it to their advantage which of course would be at your
expense in some way. Identity theft is a lucrative business, so I wouldn't
be trusting those overseas people who is supposed to be for the general
cliental.

Yaesu radios are not very blind friendly. I know some people that have made
the same switch, you know what? most went back to the 706MKIIG as funny as
that might sound. Best to just stay away from yaesu's, they've even said we
shouldn't be in the hobby, not in those exact same words but close enough
for me so I tend to have no respect for the company or anyone who buys their
stuff knowing that.

Hey Hams,
Is anyone using the Yaesu 857 D? I am wondering what you think of =
it. I have Ham friends locally who are selling their 706 Icum Marc 2 =

round radio. These are sighted Hams. I would like to have a good all =
in one radio to run mobile with. However, would like some input from =
Blind Hams, who may have some experience with the Yaesu 857 D. I have =
been a ham since the middle 70's and blind from the age of 12.
