Cripes! I use one all day at work. What the heck do I need another for

[KB2WIG]

for balance?

[K1JJ]

The heck wid the radio. Wow, is that wasp-waist real or is she wearing one of those 60's girdles? 

[WA3VJB]

There's no way I could decide which one to wear.

[KB2WIG]

try the HT600

I don't think walking around with an HT (or HT's) on your belt, or one stuck in your ear, is exactly the best choice of PR for amateur radio.

And at my place of employment, (notice I didn't say my 'workplace ), an HT would be required to have a Factory Mutual <FM> logo on it to be used anywhere inside the fence. Non-intrinsically safe radios and 'Ethylmethylbadcrap' fumes don't play well together.

Why. Tons of people do it every day. Except it's a cell phone clipped on there belt or stuck to their ear. If a ham had an HT, no one would notice.
