By the way, the built-in ferrite bar in your TH-F6a is a great addition. I wish they came on Yaesu HTs.
That is pretty hard when the guts of the Yaesu are encased in metal (magnesium). Yeah, the bar antenna is nice. But the VX-7 is waterproof and would likely survive things that would kill my TH-F6a. Both have their advantages. Now, if Kenwood would make a unit that was waterproof and also has 6M transmit like the VX-7, then they would definately have a Yaesu killer.

I was really thinking of my VX-2, which is pretty much deaf on MW and has an old fashioned plastic case.
Yeah, the VX-7 is the ultimate outdoor radio, encased in a magnesium Faraday cage. It is pretty much indestructible, totally submersible, and has proven itself over and over again. I love it. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
