Yaesu FTA 850L Handheld Transceiver
Awesome radio. GPS function works great. Lots of features. Only downside is the volume. My EAB is noisy. Learned handheld speaker is 8 ohm. Headsets are 300 ohm. Not enough to have full volume. Built line jack with transformer to up the ohm. (See Google). Works better.
