I have a GRC-165 with tuner and all transit cases, accessories, etc.  Works 
great for me, and sounds good on both ends.  Easy to tune up, stable and has 
a distinctive "business" look to it.  Only thing is that since it is 
"splashproof" it requires a cooling fan since there are no cooling holes in 
the cover.  The fan on mine is somewhat noisy......I intend to look at lube, 
replacement or whatever is required to tame the rumble but in the meantime, 
nice radio......
