I have the EXA and have to say that this radio is great. Many functions for a second radio, which this is my second radio. But, please don't buy it for $400. I got mine at the LHS for $185.49. Hey, I'll sell ya mine for $190.....just got it 2 weeks ago..... Then if ya bought it I could get a 9C (this WILL be my third radio...I don't wanna have to keep goin up in radios...just want to get one and leave it at that......)
