Yes,the helical casting is the same as the MII but thats all that is the same. ExecII uses a different form factor for the IF and it usually has less poles of filtering. The squelch and audio circuits are on the systems board and the squelch is single stage,not dual like the MII. They perform well but the squelch action is lacking for repeater use. I use several for 2m remote receivers with 440 transmitters,work very well. BTW,send me some UHF's and I'll pay you double,even triple the $10 price,we dont see them around here at ANY price anymore.
