    Yeticom Optima MK3 Mobile

    I've had 2 the first design then I bought the third design using it for a base radio and I love it I've had a lot of 10 11 meter and I mean a lot and the Optima is the best by far for what it was intended for. Sure a ham radio might and I mean might on the low end like under 1000,00 but the...

    New President Lincoln 2 +

    I had one of the first run of the Optima radio and loved it. Sold it to a buddy of mine and got the V3 which isn't much different but do use it on 10 meters since I finally got my Ham ticket. What a great radio and sometime in the near future they are coming out with a Huracan 2, kind of the...

    Topgun quad 5?

    The Quad radio is the same as a Anytone Version 6., Good radio but there are a lot of better choices, Stryker 955HP I like a lot but the best radio in my collection and I have a lot of radios is the Yeticom Optima, it just does it all and does it a little better than them all. My 2 Cents
