RE: I just use a Mac, and it runs Windows when I need it to.....

Unless you have a call sign, the local HRO treats you like you have Plague. And if you DO have a call sign, they are still slow and not completely helpful........

I agree about programming. I'm fooling with a Beaofeng 5r model and it is deep. I use it only as a weather radio receiver, now......And at that? MUCH better than my 40 year old Radio Shack Weather Radio OR my Midland GMRS radios with the Weather Band features. a LOT better.
I can get way more than I SHOULD. Even from Catalina and who knows where else? 3 and if I sit outside very late? Maybe a 5th frequency.

If I get the Yaesu? I'll all-carte the cable and try CHIRP first. That may have all the functionality I need. From where I sit I can get ONE repeater on 2 mters at this end of the county......But have a pair of ground planes needing a SWR meter, some clippers and a piece of 3/4" PVC......
Too much is never enough
