What Two Way Radio do I get and why

[All The Way]

Believe it or not your voice has a huge impact as well. There is a couple of us hams that all have the same radio and some boom in loud and some are quiet. We all talk the same distance from the mic. I've actually gone into the service menus to increase the mic gain on mine... I don't have a good radio voice lol.

Vertex I could hear every one good I did have a bit of trouble hearing Huck every once in awhile I was thinking moose was helping.

We've noticed that icom guys here each other just fine. Some tyt guys have trouble hearing me but that's cause I never talk into the mic.

No certs needed for some frequencies

Anybody have a view on which of these radios is better, for both general ham (2 meter primarily) and race frequencies: Icom ID-880H and Yaesu FT-857D.

Both seem to have detachable remote faces, several bands, similar power, relatively compact, not "too much radio" which are all things I'm interested in.
