I did a search and did not find an "official" thread for this radio so I figured it's about time to start one. There is some info about the FS-GT3C in the GT3b thread but it's scattered about and that thread is simply massive and mostly about the older model which shares a lot of electronic parts but is obviously completely different when looking at it.
So far I have seen green, orange, bronze???, and silver ones out.
Street price 50-75 dollars.
