I have and currently use a VX5R, FT50 and FT51.  All three are nice,=20
but the best testimonial was hiking the Grand Canyon with the VX5R.  It=20=

took numerous hits on the rocks, and other than a few scratches on the=20=

case performed excellently.  I did find that it is possible to get so=20
much dust in the remote mike that it will have problems.  The battery=20
life was excellent.  I used the 3 -AAs and the LION as a backup.

Talk about takes a lickin and keeps on ticking.
