    VX-6R vs VX-7R

    Hi, New to the forum, but I've been a ham for a number of years. I've got a couple of old HTs, but I've decided to upgrade to something new. I want a HT that is at least a 2m/70CM and has dual frequencies displayed on the readout. I've read, researched, dug and finally narrowed it down to...
