[ICOM] re: uhf/vhf rig

[John Geiger]

There was an ad on QTH.COM recently selling the 275H
and the 475H for $400 a piece.  Great deal.  I saw a
375 for sale once at Central States VHF conference in
1999.  They wanted $1800 for it.  Too bad they didn't
make a 375H at 100 watts.  I don't think the 1275A was
imported to the US, which explains its rarity.  There
was one for sale on ebay recently, but don't remember
what it went for.
