I still use mine, too. I keep it set up for part of a balloon tracking system for when I work with HS students on high altitude balloon experiments, which uses APRS. I remove the battery, which makes it fit on the portable setup that I use (2 radios, GPS, mapping software, TNC). Great rig. Always clear, always flawless comms.

Hi Glenn I will agree with Ronny. The 202 was built strictly for the ham band with no out of band receive or transmit. It had an exceptional RX front end rejection of out of band junk compared to today's radios. By today's radios it is big but it works great, I still use mine. I've had to replace the micro battery inside but it's still ticking.

Glen it was based on the 02AT. NOT PC programmable. It was made by Maxxon for Tandy. It will also NEVER go out of the Ham bands no matter what someone puts on the Internet.. Good Radio! If you want programming for a radio cross ship me your 202 and all the toys with it and I'll ship you a UV-5R with big antenna, battery, and speaker mic. No problem. The 202 is a much better radio IMO. And I have 2 UV5Rs. K4RJJ Ronny

It was based on some iCom model, and my old radio has the same microphone plug on the top as the one on my current radio. The antenna and squelch and volume buttons might get in the way though. Thanks.
