Go with what you like and don't worry about what others think of your choices, yea!
I don't like all them other radios, and therefore, I DON'T TALK TO THEM!!!!
I sleep with my Midland radio and it keeps me warm at night!!!!!
With all the people I can talk to on mine, I'm thinking of renting out like a HOOKER to keep the local (all other radios) want-to-bes happy! Only thing I dislike is having to turn up the volume but I don't mine half the time I guess, not much is really being said anyway unless it's a Jeep Trail ride...hehehe. I talk and nobody even knows what I'm running anyhow. Stick that into your muddy grippers and crawl on-it!
