I didn't see one, so I thought I would start a thread for gear discussion.

Post recent additions to your collection or questions.

I just bought one of these, as an upgrade from my bongfong BF-F8+. It looked like it had a decent amount of features and survivability for the price. Did I do good?

You did good. The yaesu handhelds _all_ have better front ends. So you can attach whatever matching antenna to it.

Also, I've yet to see one that doesn't put out it's specified power.

VX-8/-8R/-8DR are solid little radios, especially for the price you can get them at now. My only compliant is that they're too damn small and the interface is awfully damn cramped.

I keep waiting for the big three to realize that there's a market for a high-end commercial-grade amateur handheld, but it's just not happening at this rate.
