Thanks for the review and for the posts inquiring about the front end/intermod performance. Exactly what I was looking for.

I have loved my UV-5R/A radios but the front end on them has become a BIG frustration now that I am doing SOTA activations. The intermod has rendered them useless on several occasions on 70cm and 146.520. I also really want full duplex in a single handheld. I ordered the KG-UV8D package deal from MTC: http://www.mtcradio.com/version-5-wouxun-kg-uv8d-cross-band-repeat-ht-package-deal/

Will be nice to have the AA, battery eliminator, etc. from the get go.

I am also looking at getting an old commercial mono band Motorola radio to test and compare.

Thanks. I will try and report back here with my comparisons and results. I will be taking it straight to a peak near a repeater site and run it side by side with a UV-5R.
