Can you share where you got this deal. I'm looking for a FT-2900 also.
Thanks,
You can get an even better deal here:
YAESU FT-2900R - RADIOS>RADIO TRANSCEIVERS>MOBILE RADIOS>2M RADIOS
I am taking my test on Sunday morning. I've been studying for the General, too, and I think I have a pretty good chance of passing both if I can study the General materials for another few hours before Sunday.
I'm still deciding on a mobile, but leaning toward the Yaesu, because I really like their higher end options and I would like to put the 8800R in my other truck with a remote kit.
