I charge my time out at $90 an hour.  I realize that this is chicken feed
for an attorney but would you really send a client an itemized bill with a
charge for $22.50 for 15 minutes of listening to "YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT,
etc." ?

I will not deny that Icom makes the best performing radios for the amateur
radio service.  But I cannot in good conscience recommend Icom radios to
anyone else - especially if they are going to depend on Icom service,
assuming their service response is similar to their parts response.
