[Icom] New Icom Multiband HT????

Thu, 12 Sep 2002 01:37:43 -0500

I could almost believe that explaination, But how come Yaesu has had the
neat little VX5R with DCS
squelch out for how many years now, With almost NO advance "teasing" ads????
How about the Yaesu FT8900R with DCS squelch?
Now available, and it was not splashed across the
ham magazine pages almost a year ago. How about Kenwood? They do not engage
in "test" ads.
Icom is about to lose a former loyal fan. And I would bet that there are
lots of others who feel like I do.
