Hi, I have been using the FTA-750L for 2 weeks, I started to enter the memory channels using the keypad and the volume/channel switches, it can be done but very fiddly and time consuming, The Yaesu website only shows windows software. I still prefer my 'vintage' 1992 ICOM it only has 20 memory channels and separate Volume and Squelch controls, the 750L requires you to press a button on the left side to enter squelch mode, not much of a problem, but its just below PTT button, and if you want to stop the Scan function, you have to press the PTT button, and the manual also says not to use NM-iH/NiCad's in the battery case, been using them in my ICOM for 15years. But apart from that , at £270inc not bad, I paid £395 for the ICOM in 1992.
If any tech guys out there can convert the ICOM to 8.33, please let me know!
