whats the difference?

I just got a Yaesu VX-8R and love it, I'm sure you'll be happy with it. One thing I suggest is get at least one of the 1800 mAh batteries, it is a pig on batteries and I only get about 8-12 hours on the 1800.

Yeah, I noticed that in Chicago with aprs running at 5min intervals it killed my batt in only 5 hrs. Never made a single contact over the air talking either.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
