Yep... And our radios are TYT - both the HT's and the mobile units. One
of the departments my wife works on for volunteer fire recommended them
as a more cost efficient radio instead of a Motorola, so we bought the
HT's. A few years later I got interested in HAM, so we both got our tickets, and
I bought TYT-7800's for both pickups. People assume they are junk
because they are "Japanese knock offs of Yaeseu" but really what they are
are great radios for the money and which I have NO problems out of at all!

That's cool!
