[Mobile-Portable] 2M + 70CM Band Rig Recommendations

[kd4e]

I like true crossband repeat to get in and out
of large buildings, e.g. WalMart, Lowes, Home
Depot, and many designated shelters, etc.

440 on the HT, crossband repeat to get into the
designated 2M EOC repeater for emergencies or any
2M repeater for daily ops.

Any comparisons between the FT-8800 and the Kenwood
TM-731A?
