I've had a 4 pin mic 4 button president, a 5 pin mic 4 button uniden and a grant xl. I don't remember much difference between the first two, they were reliable with good to great reports. nice radios, but I would have really preferred black radios.
I did not care for the xl. while it talked well, the receive was poor, and it the receive audio sound was about as good as the receive. it was looked at by 3 techs with no improvement. sold it to a friend of mine to give to an ex girlfriend that wanted to get back on the radio. never liked her much.
any experience with the upd858 version? I don't even know if I've ever even heard one of these talking much less seen one. safe to assume it would be equivalent to my upd858 madison?
