In the great debate of radios, I'm trying to pick a mobile unit. Here are the top two contenders:
Icom IC-2730A
Yaesu FTM-100DR
I started looking at the Icom and was just about to pull the trigger until I saw this Yaesu. They both have more features, but I don't know a lot of their benefits, so you're help is appreciated. I have no experience with APRS nor had a desire to pursue it, but for a radio in this price point, why not give it a second look.
Thoughts/opinions/experience on either of them? Been using either and want to upgrade?
Icom IC-2730A
- Positive head unit will fit in open spot on dash
- True dual channel monitoring
- Cross band repeater function
Yaesu FTM-100DR
- Smaller head unit so it should still fit in open spot on dash
- APRS
