Don't like- 1) Does not remember repeater offset. Do like- 1) Fully self contained, I use it mobile from the cigarette lighter, base from a power supply, and portable with the 8 self contained C cells. 2) One knob memory channel select for quick mobile QSY 3) Backlit LCD display- superior to LED's in sunlight and lower in power consumption when portable. 4) multimode capability GEORGE WB6YZZ
