A great radio that does all bands up to 70cm. Using all modes also you can talk on SSB on VHF and UHF.
If you haven’t done SSB on 2m and 70cm, then I’d encourage you to do so. it is a lot of fun.
This radio will do it and so will a lot of the old radios. There are very few new ones that do it now.
Some very old radios only do SSB on one band or another.
Please see my review of the 857D. It’s a great old radio but so small in size making it an ideal portable or mobile radio.
