I had one for a while, didn't like the bulk of it as a handset but other than that they a great. I got a little uniden 520 for like $40. Works great and easily mounted to the cage.
If you want antennas or parts local hit up the trucks stops north on I-15. They carry the Firestick II which is tunable and I have two SWR tuners if you want to borrow one.
Yea I live by there and bought my hand held there a year ago. Love having the hand held but looking for something to have in the jeep that doesn't eat battery's.
