YMMV means your mileage may vary. It comes from the car ads where they happily claim 50 city and 80 highway and throw in a statement "your mileage may vary" to mean "no promises"
In the modern era, it has come to mean "your experience or needs may be different than mine, no promises" YMMV I've had dual-watch mobiles (Yaesu FT8500) and handhelds (Alinco G5) and found that I didn't use the feature that much. Gets confusing, runs down the battery, too many controls to flip the PTT between them, etc. If I had to get a Dstar handheld, I'd get the 80 because I'd be able to drop in my 880 settings and run with it. The 880 does not have dual-watch of course but it does have a nice scan function and I am finding that more than effective for me. It is rare that there are two interesting QSOs going on at once around here and much rarer to have two Dstar QSOs of any kind going on. ymmv --- In [email protected], Ben Ramler <ben_ramler2...@...> wrote: > > 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.
