Default DAMMIT ICOM WHY SO CHEAP?!!

"Larry W4CSC" wrote in message
...

"Sailor RT4822 includes a transceiver unit and a handset. The
SPARC-BUS interface, an advanced balanced data and AF interface, can
be used to interconnect multiple control units and for exterior
computer based control/programming options."

OH BOY! Another incompatible, non-communicating data protocol that
won't talk to anything else on the boat! Who else uses Sparc (besides
Sun, that is)??


I do see there's a secondary NMEA interface back there, somewhere,
though.


The other problem you'll have is SERVICE.....

From the webpage:
Please, choose a country:


Austria
Faroe Islands
Iceland
Rumania


big snip

It is refreshing to know I could get it fixed in the Ukraine or
Estonia, but what happens over the rest of the planet....places like
USA, Canada, S America, Caribbean Islands, Hawaii, Tahiti, Oz, NZ??


Well, on the page before the one you cited it says:
Africa
Asia and the Oceania
Europe
North America
South America
The Middle East

So, exactly *what* is your problem???
