Hello all, I did a search and read quite a few discussions, but I didn't find quite what I was looking for, so I thought I'd post a fresh question. I've been using the -8R in my car for about a year, through a Comet 24M. That's worked well enough for hitting a 2m repeater that covers most...

As I'm narrowing down my selection of what I want to buy, I have just a couple more questions, if you all will indulge me: (8900) - Just how useful is 10 and 6M FM? I know it's only a (relatively) small price increase over the 8800, but that doesn't include the added cost of an antenna...
