[ICOM] Icom 820/821 opinions & one available

[Dick Wilborg, W1ZC]

John,  I have an IC-821H surplus to my needs now.  I upgraded to a Kenwood
TS-2000X.
I think it is quite an improvement over the 820. Icom did so for a reason.
It is fully loaded with 500Hz CW filters in the main & sub receiver, the
high stability reference oscillator and
wired BNC connectors on the rear for adding outboard preamps for both bands
if you wish. Minus the Molex power cable. (use for another rig.)
Ready to go for $799 plus shipping!
I worked much weak signal stuff, WSJT, etc.
73s,  Dick

I am looking into some different rig possibilities for
VHF/UHF and satellite work.  The Icom 910H looks great
but is also a little out of my current budget.  I
wonder what people's experiences are with the Icom
820H and Icom 821H.  The 820 gets good reviews on
eham.net, the 821, not as good of reviews.  I like the
fact that they do dual receive, and can run 12 volts
up the coax for preamps.  I will not be doing any
packet on these rigs, as I know the 820 has problems
with the PACSATS.
