  Gee, Ron, I'm sorry that you didn't mention that when we met at
  Sea-Pac last week!  I've been using that HT for about 5 years
  for both hamming (both 2m and 3/4m) and monitoring my other
  hobby - chasing and photo-ing the railroads.  It's easy once
  one gets the hang of it. Then again, I have 5 ICOM transceivers,
  including the HT.... <g>

  My only "gripe" - which is my problem, not ICOM's - is that I
  have to use the lighted magnifier to read the pushbutton labels
  and occasionally have to refer to the step-by-step directions
  in the manual.
