I think the battery life is very limited. I don't think 6 meters FM is a real popular mode/band. The command dial, is poorly designed.it is hard to use. I think Icom discontinued this model.  I personally have the Kenwood th-g71a. Icom makes some great handhelds, my ICOM 02-at still works. I would look at other models.
arrl has done a good job on reviewing most radios. You might want to look there. I do.
