Do you who have purchased the 24-AT think it is worth the rather extravagant
asking price ($629 list without tone squelch or encode/decode)?  I'm thinking I
should just get a Kenwood 75-A or Yaesu FT-470 since they list for less and
didn't make every feature necessary for crowded repeater areas an option, even
though the 24-AT has some obvious great advantages.

(any comparisons between these three units would be welcome!)

Thanks,

Pete
