[ICOM] re: uhf/vhf rig

[STeve Andre']

You mean I missed a 1275 on Ebay?  Waa!  Oh my ears and
whiskers...

The 1275a was imported to the US; at least VHF Communications
had one, I know that, but I couldn't afford it at the time.  

Perhaps I should offer a bounty for the first person to point me
to a 375a / 1275a for sale. ;-)

At least the two more common bands have '75 radios.
