One super great feature that gets overlooked is the cross band repeater function.
This comes in very handy if you hike from your rig and want access to a distant repeater or other frequency using your HT (ham walkie talkie) while in a mine or canyon.
But the less expensive FT-8800R does this cross banding nicely without the costly fluff of this model.

Love having fun 😊 in the 🌞 by the ⛵ and the ⏳
This 350 is only about $150 more than the high end Yaesu and you get so much more with the 350. Integrated GPS, APRS, Bluetooth, navigation, texting, etc. I think with a group buy the price will be somewhat lower for the 350 and then there is the optional gear.

I believe, sir, by "costly fluff" you mean super cool extras.
I struggle with an expo rig without HF, but this unit does seem to include a great many super cool extras. If memory values can easily be managed from a computer the dual radio aspect should work well.

Yeah, that's what I meant! I have the FT-8800R and FT-857D. So I guess my idea of fluffy extras is having a second $900 HF radio.
