Also an FT-50R which is 10 years old this year. Hasn't missed a beat.
I dare say there's exceptions to every rule but I havnt found a reason to be quite so 'strong minded' about Yaesu yet...

I have an FT 530 that is 26 years old and still going , I have a 10 yr old VX 5 , and an FT 8900 that's about 10 also , but yaesu has a bad habit of being a PIA about programming , I have a bunch of icom stuff , but the screens suck , but now Kenwood is heaven my 710 GA & 74 A are awesome so easy to program a toddler could do it and the displays are awesome, I want a mobile version of the 74a and then life will be awesome.

Re: FRIENDS DON't LET FRIENDS BUY YAESU
Never had a 50 but actually the 51 R was like my 3 handheld after I got my ticket , and although I have collected a metric tons of radios over the years I been feeling very nostalgic and looking to buy another 51 R if I can find one that's not beat to crap and at a decent price , after that I bought the 11R another awesome radio, I dropped it during a snowball fight , without knowing it , and heard a crunch as I backed over it , destroyed the display but I have the mic with a second display on it and continued using for another 4 years that way .I have almost every radio I ever bought except the 51 & 11 R , I use a Kenwood 74A currently , nice tri Bander that doesn't really get much use because we have 2 2 meter machines 1 70 cm and 0 220 but I can use it if I ever go somewhere with 220 LOL , I mostly brought it because I wanted dstar and APRS in one rig .
I wonder why this place is a ghost town ? I actually found it by accident.
