Forgot one other minor issue. The ICOM and Yaesu radios need to be modded to accomodate "out of band" use.
It's really easy to do. Google will provide all the information you need.
In all practical purposes, I'd get the ICOM. There's a reason why it's the #1 selling Amateur Radio in the world. The Yaesu is like #2 or 3, so you won't go wrong with it either, but you'll find far more information on the ICOM than the Yaesu.
