[Icom] help !!! IC 746 AND PS 85

[Chris BONDE]

I realize that we hams are rather cheap in spending money for 
something.  Maybe, we should change that.

However,  after being burnt myself, I probably will never buy at a "Fleace" 
market again.  That extends to buying from a ham that I donot know. (I 
even  question from a ham I know)  I hate to say this but GREED is not only 
in politics, business, olympics but in haming.  I have found that it is 
better to buy from a dealer who wants to keeps customers than a ham who 
wants to sell.  But never buy a new product until it has been proven and 
the better-than-thou hams have splurged.

OK you may disagree, but that is my reaction from my expirences.
