[Icom] On Icom IC910H, has Icom got the bugs worked

Sat, 1 Jun 2002 09:12:00 -0400

Yep Warren I already have one of those type radios but I like the idea of a
dedicated radio for two meters with power as in 100 watts and not have to
run a brick amplifier and for the price and hassle of those things, I would
rather own a nice 100 watt self contained amp or high output base type
radio. As far as the 910 with no offense intended.....it is not just about
opinion..this radio has had a lot of QA problems that from my research has
still not been fixed or at least in all 910's. Not just about opinion, lots
of facts and documentation to show the problems really exist. Thanks and 73,
Steve, NX1G
