Yep,SSB would've made it a wiener,oops,winner. I like the look too. I was looking for something blue and I was almost about to buy one when I discovered the NOS/NIB(except for the small chrome case nick and scratch) Ranger TRE936ffc that Copper was sitting on. I'd like the 687's orangeness but the 787's blue display and extra switch functions. My main concern about Uniden is that I don't want to support their stubbornness to share schematics,etc. Their flat chested Shirley(performance wise) vs. volumpteous Veronica(Galaxy types)
