I will have to look at them more closely as I will admit I have never given them much thought as I will be setting this radio up in a remote location where there is no internet.
Are these units not heavily driven by software, updates and connectivity with the internet?
Okay, thanks guys. I didn't mean to hijack the thread but I wanted a clearer understanding of why the bias was generally towards older models.
I am in the market for a "new" all mode/multi-band radio ($1500 max) and would much prefer a good "all-in-one" ham radio (if one exists) to buying a ham...
Maybe I should better qualify my statement - I agree with buying a ham rig especially if you have your licence or intending to get one. I was just curious as to why more often than not the models that folks seem to recommend tend to be somewhat "vintage". I'm guessing price has a lot to do...

Sounds like you folks are much more inclined to consider a logical approach to things than our government.
We had to apply for a commercial frequency licence at my workplace so that we could legally operate a bomb robot via remote control. Because our power was 5 watts on the transceiver (and...
Thanks for the replies guys !
Just to clarify I have my ham/amateur licence. I know the terms used to classify the types of licences are different depending on the country. I had to look up what a "tech exam" was and I guess my licence would be the equivalent of your "general" as I can operate...
I will apologize for anyone I offend with my apparent ignorance but in an effort to read up on this before posting I am finding myself getting more and more confused so PLEASE jump in and correct me wherever necessary....
Here's some background:
I have had my ham licence for several years but...
