Ive got a couple 800s and a 920. I am very impressed with the quality of them. I use one of the 800s strictly for fire ops. It beats our kenwoods and /\/\ radios to shreds. One night I had the radio fall out of my pocket into the dump tank and get completely submerged. I picked it up and it worked flawlessly the rest of the night even though the lapel mic was full of water. That really sold me on the Vertex Land mobile radios. I know its not a /\/\ but I have owned and used several of them and never been happy with them. Just personal preferance
Seems to be dead on the radio lately. I don't know if the conditions are horrible, or more likely my weak antennas. I may head up in the mountains on Wednesday and see if reception / transmission is improved.
