Jason: Not to be a "twitt" but that radio is most likely 25 YEARS OLD!!!
What computer did you own 25 years ago....
For that matter what did you look like 25 years ago!!!!.....grade school?

Well that's where CAT controls were 30 years ago when that radio was in production....

The TS-440sat is twice the radio as the 757(when the're working)...
The 757(even the GXII) was a good "Starter" radio for Ham usage....(Last production run 1988...)

However with the "MOD" switch inside we know which "market" Yaesu was targeting when that was imported!!!
No matter how hard you try....you can't make a Lincoln out of a Pinto!....
All the Best
BJ
