[ICOM] Clear Speech Speaker vs. MKIIG

[Robert John]

I had the same problem with a IC706. I dumped the Icom and installed a 
FT-100D and the noise problems were solved. I suggest you do the same if you 
are looking for a solution to noise. The Yaesu rigs have noise 
blanker/limiter that actually work! Install an Yaesu rig in your vehicle and 
you will never look back.
