    Good Enough? & Which One?

    Good Enough? & Which One?

    Hi all, I was asked to decide to buy these radios. Ham here of course so feeling struggling to decide. I have been looking at Amazon and found the price and features of these two seem to meet the given requests. They get high-capacity battery and I think this is what I prefer. No HF/VHF/UHF...
