[Icom] Decision time and request for advice (long)

[George, W5YR]

A most wise decision, Ed.

In about 1-1/2 years of daily operation, zero problems with the Icom PRO.

Best rig I've used in 56 years and that includes almost all of them in all
price ranges.

I strongly recommend that you work through the manual a few times, trying
the various features until you feel like you "know" the rig. It is NOT like
any rig you have probably used before and requires some effort to use to
most effectiveness. But, what a jewel!  <:}

Hope to hear you soon!
