Just remember to keep the antenna in the clear when you are tinkering
with the radio. Closeted in the garage can produce some interesting
results with the house electrical system, not to mention the cars,
trucks, tractors and other odds and ends like TV.

Ya mean I can't use Mrs. E's Lincoln Navigator as a ground plane?

That's pretty much the point.

Icom is a great radio company and I know a lot of hams who use Icom

control scheme so my modern ham gear is all Yaesu.



I've never been a big fan of Icom. For one thing, they can't seem to
make an H.F. radio with a good noise blanker circuit, at least not on
the models I've owned. My little Yaesu FT-757 is a 20 year old design
and it does far better in the noise suppression department.

I also like Kenwood's user function interface over Icom's. Kenwood's
seem more intuitive, while I find that I have to hit the manual for
the Icom for those rarely used and easy to forget features.

Your results may vary......

The very first, "modern" all solid state radio I ever owned was a
FT-757 - what a great radio.

I've used Kenwoods in contest situations and like them. I used to
have a 430 that I used on one of my boats for IOTA stuff from
time-to-time.

They always do. :)

I thought you were a beemer guy. I've seen you over there a few times.

Seen me? Where?

Used to have a beemer, but got rid of it a year ago.
