I'm interested in the new crop of mini HT's...the ones that do about 2 watts and are slim enough to stick in your pocket. I was looking at the Icom IC-P7A. Anyone have any experience with that or a similar model?
not very good reviews on the IC- P7A. I like the yaesu and it can also be turned down to 1/2 to 1 watt. In my opinion I would stick with the Yaesu. I have owned one and it has good recieve and transmit and good recieve audio. Can't go wrong. KI4MSJ
Well where you and I live it isnt quite so bad using the low power HT's. On occasion I hear people get on the air with these HT's and they are cutting in and out, these same people use this as their primary radio and try to assist in weather nets. Not making the repeaters and all you hear is static and repeater cutting in and out. The low power rigs work fine at a hamfest on simplex.
