Nice dual band HT, great Size. I have the FT-25 VHF only, love it so I bought this one. The logic is not quite the same as the 25, However it is very easy to program from the front buttons without using a computer . Was able to put in 50 repeaters in about a half an hour . Very easy to program, nice size, name brand ! Downside , There is one step in setting CTSS, Not explained in the manual that comes with it; However the Advanced manual PDF is very easily download it from the Yeasu website.
