Slacker Radio's: What is the difference in between the new one and the old one?
198204
I think the only difference is the size/shape and perhaps some inside software changes too. The G2 responds pretty quickly to button presses where the G1 is a tad slower. I started with the G2 and now I have the G1 and am completely satisfied. The G2 is smaller and sleeker looking, but with a $200 price tag versus a $50 price tag, it was easy to make my choice. The G1 is about the size of a large ipod video, but it is still lightweight though.

By new do you mean different and how did you figure out which relay it required?

Glad you asked this q as I am wondering the same thing! From what I can tell from research is that the tough talking one has a version of a radio that plays set tunes/microphone (which may be a fun add) and the color - both got great reviews. if you decided on one would be interested to hear which one you went with- thx!

One is a newer release of the olderversion. I couldn't firgure out the changes. The older was a lot cheaper. I bought it and love it. Of course I've got a great Yamaha receiver.

The new one, One, is much easier to sync with your computer. No very nicely remotely syncs and you don't have to put it on a cradle that oftentimes doesn't connect. Love it! It also will not split open like the Ultra.

They seem to be the same except for the gray color of the box (was gold color) and the inside wiring went from the screw connections to the friction connections. The old rotor controller works fine with this new model if you don't want to use the remote rotor controller that came with the new model. I can't think of anything other differences. I wish Channel Master would not discontinue making this model. I had the original model for about 35 years without any problems until "Sandy" hit and the strong winds stripped the gearing making the antenna a wind vain.

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

Your photo shows the older model. Look at the new just released model (same size and operation) but comes in a striking blue color, plus we think improved sound quality. We have 8 Grandchildren. They should be a hit with your 4.5 yr. old. Racked my brain on what would be difficult for them. When you key the radio to speak you must wait about .5 seconds to speak. Turn off, turn on, is simple, just press and hold the middle button in the diamond. Changing channels requires a process so you are safe there. The sound quality of these are excellent and that of a set costing 4 or 5 times the price. We use them in our very frequent motor home travels, which spans 20 years. Mostly to assist when backing the 45' unit into tight spots,when fueling, ot traveling with friends (vs. using the CB.) We have owned maybe 8 or 9 different walkie sets. These have been the very, very,best for the price and when you forget and leave one at a camp sight or on top the fuel pump at a truck stop you do not feel as bad. Also when traveling with the grandkids they have no problem with them, including our 6 year old.

The reason they use the term old version, is that they came out with the updated version of the 818 in 2013; the 828. The 828 has a few new features that the 818 doesn't have, but they also cut a few of the features that the 818 has that they didn't include with the 828, Go to the onkyo website to compare the specs, but for me I couldn't justify the price disparity when it came between both units, so I went with the 818, and I haven't been dissapointed! For $699 I don't think I could find a better receiver. I looked at Marantz, Denon, and Harman Kardon to compare, and for the price I thought the Onkyo was a better constructed, sturdier product at a lesser price.

New models with slightly less power. There both in the website catalogue - for now. You can compare specs. The new model has the advantage of having fresher batteries.

I don't know the difference between the two--only that one is a newer model than the other. You should research the model numbers.

A firmware update on the co. web site is the difference as I recall but I don't member exactly what was changed.

I feel like it's a little better reception, but with no display, tuning is a little awkward. The one FM station which was difficult to hear on my old one, is significantly better now with the new one.

I have not seen any difference other than a little different styling. A different year perhaps? It sounds the same and it has the same on/off switch, volume controls, etc.

What difference do you see between the old and new version, Brian (besides the cartridge life?)

I have been using these for years but I didn't know there was an old version or a new version. What makes you think there is?

According to the live chat support at Ooma.com, it is the same except the physical appearance. They informed me that it has the same software function at the previous unit. And while I can't see the 3 icons across the top of the new unit that were on the older model (for volume adjustment, brightness adjustment, and page), the live chat person informed me that those functions are still there. If you're interested, there has been some discussion about the new/old units on the Ooma forums (http://www.ooma.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=17399&p=119051&hilit=+new+old+telo+difference#p119051 AND http://www.ooma.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=17399&p=119051&hilit=+new+old+telo+difference#p119051 AND http://www.ooma.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=17318).
