    Having said that, a manuf of any product makes a lemon of a model every so often but I have no experience with the 370C one way or the other.
    I can say my 330C is an excellent bit of kit in my Y62 and all my vessel radios (27, VHF and FM) are GME as are the fleet vehicles and vessels radios other than HF at work and haven't had a dud yet

    For recreational users I rate the manuf as follows
    Icom
    GME
    Uniden
    Oricom

    Another thing is that probably 90% of the actual in use performance of any radio isn't the radio but the install and antenna quality.
    For reccy use IMHO an elevated feed dual whip antenna such as the RFI CD951 (or equiv from GME, ZCG) is absolutely the way to go https://www.prestigecom.net.au/rfi-c...ntenna-package
    IMHO easily the best antennas are made by ZCG Scalar, GME or RFI

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
