[Yaesu] Yaesu FT-90

[Ed]

I bought one for my wife. It has problems with the squelch, has lousy audio
without an external speaker and generally inhales rapidly. {sucks}. I would
never buy another one. It gets hot real fast and this may be what's causing
the squelch problem. The 440 side howls on audio when turned to anywhere
near audible in a vehicle. I don't like the radio. Take a look at the IC 207
instead.
