I use the belt clip because I have a holder in my Toyota FJ and in my SxS that use the clip.
I kind of expected the S88G and S88G Plus CPS to not allow copy and paste between them. The KG-935G and 935G Plus was the same way. When I got the S88G Plus I tried copying from the S88G and it didn’t work. Like you said, not a deal breaker.
I purchased the S88G Plus because of the Bluetooth. What I didn’t realize (completely my fault) is that with the BT activated the PTT is disabled and you have to use VOX. I was hoping to use the BT with my hearings. They pair and I can listen but if I want to TX it has to be via VOX which is not ideal in a noisy environment. I wish they had given the option to use the PTT or a hand mic. It is still a great little radio.
Oh, and if you think the chicks dig the belt clip just try using the wrist lanyard!
