I would buy the 2820 if you can afford it. I own two of them. Of all the users in my local area, most own 2820's. It is a true dual band radio and has a nice large screen.

I live about 30 miles from the nearest dstar repeater but am mobile a lot to and from work which will be great.Are you guys finding the coverage better or worse than an anologue system as i have heard a 20% greater coverage range but was wondering if this is true. Also if you work simplex is the tx coded and can you still enjoy a digital rag chew net. **************Feeling the pinch at the grocery store? Make dinner for $10 or less.
