Excellent transceiver and PC interface, just wish some one would make a screen protector. The size of the screen is great!

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.

This is a really good handheld. I did not have any issues setting it up. The manual is pretty well written. I downloaded and used the software to program the frequencies I wanted. The number of memory slots and groups are way adequate for me. I have not yet had a chance to try the nav features yet. This replaced my Vertex VX-710 which was still functioning and working.
