what is YMMV? the handheld and amp do take up less room. there is only three conection points. antenna to amp. and amp to radio. Don't see anything wrong about that.
Sorry I should correct myself I am looking for a true dual band Handheld. ________________________________ From: John D.

Just for the record, the IC-80AD and ID-880 are both "dual band" (they operate on both 2m and 70cm) but they are not "dual watch" (monitoring two frequencies at one). For dual watch, you would have to go to the IC-91AD or IC-92AD for handhelds, or the 2820H for a mobile. The question is are you better served with a mobile or a handheld/amp lash-up in your application. That is your decision to make.
