Hi everyone! Anyone have an opinion, good or bad on the following 2 meter handhelds? I'm looking to buy a good radio and have narrowed it down to these:
Yaesu FT60R, F270R or the VX170.
Any comment is greatly appreciated! Carole:D

I have an FT60R. Really a nice radio, works very well. It is a dual band unit. I also have a VX150 2M only radio which works fine.

I don't think anyone would go wrong with the 60R. The other radios are probably fine, too. Just depends on your preference.

I really like my FT 60 and would recommend it as a good dual band radio. I've had some issues getting my signal heard, but given that it is 5 watts I think it works great.
