All I can say is if anyone is in the market for a VHF HT get a Yaesu VX-170. This HT is great. great audio comming out of it and I am told it sounds crystal clear and very good and no mic problem.

This thing is real easy to program too. Had my favorite repeaters programed and was talking on it in about 5 min.

Thanks for everyones help, I got a real winner here.
