Icom Cs T90a Download Lagu
Hello all, I passed my test, and got my call sign a couple of weeks ago. I have yet to purchase a radio and have been using EchoLink for several days now.I am looking at two main HT radios, the Icom IC-T90A and the Yaesu VX-7R. I'd like to ask for some reviews on both of these radios.
I like the fact that they both will work on 6 meter, 2 meter, and 70 centimeter bands. But other than that, they each seem to have a couple of features that the other doesn't, but that they end up coming up about even in the end.Th Icom is quite a bit less expensive than the Yaesu, but I do like the dot matrix display and the water resistance of the Yaesu, but the Icom seems to have a better squelch control, but the Yaesu offers 1.25 meter TX.you get the idea.
And I like the look of the flat black of the Yaesu, versus the dull gray of the Icom.They both will run a maximum of 5watts TX power. How much distance can I expect to get with a full 5 watts? Are there any other subtle differences between the two that would tip the scales one way or the other?I've been pouring over the user manuals for both of them, but I'd like to hear the opinions of the more experience hams out there, and especially those of anyone who have had or used both.Many great thanks,-Justice C.

Congratulations on getting your license!I have owned and used a VX7R for several years on all 4 bands. It has been completely reliable in spite of some rugged use and abuse. Using the memory group feature has allowed me to utilize it as a very capable public service, marine band, and aircraft scanner as well.
The free Commander software makes it a snap to program. The VX7R's case is very tolerant of random drops and falls, which in my experience is helpful. Mine took a memorable header from 4 feet up onto a steel brace from where it bounced to a concrete floor 2 feet below that. It didn't skip a beat, and only suffered a small scratch on the front grille, which a black sharpie marker covered up perfectly.On the down side, mine does suffer slightly from the dirty PL tone issue that seems to be a problem with some production runs of these radios. Turning the PL tone down in the service menu cleaned mine up, but it is still slightly detectable on some receivers. I am not sure if new versions of the VX7R have corrected this.I helped a friend program his IC-T90 and it looked and sounded great on TX and RX, but I have no experience with its features and its pros and cons.
I suspect you would be happy with either radio. I would also urge you to consider getting programming cables and software to allow for easy setup of whatever you choose.Good luck!Rob W1AEX. I bought the yaesu vx-7r from hamcity.com ($276.00+ship till 4-31) as my first rig and i love it!
A lot of people complain about it being complicated but i find it to be intuitively laid out and a breeze to program. I program manually but i plan on trying vx-7r commander when i get bored one day. I just got a MFJ-1720s and it gives a dramatic improvement in reception across all freqs but i had to screw it on very tight compared to the stock duck for it to work; still a worthwhile improvement. It is a slender whip and very manageable. I got the silver HT because it looks cool. I have the T90A and have never liked it. While it is easy to program, the battery has a short life.
As for the 440 and the 6M, I did good to get across the street with it. A friend bought the Vx7 the same day. Better on the TX but a bugger to program. I put my Icom up (somewhere) and can't find it and I still haven't missed it.

I now use an Alinco DJ-196 for my HT. Great radio and low priced.

Think about the price of a tri-bander as opposed to a single band 2M radio. You will save some money that can go towards your first HF rig and not feel bad about it.
