[ICOM] Icom Handheld units

[Dave Edwards]

In the older version (IC2A and IC2AT)   the 'T' meant it had a touch tone 
pad
on the front. Not sure about the later 02 radio. I have a few of each. Still 
sound better than the current fleet of mini rigs. But then again, the '70s 
crystal rigs, TR22 included sound better than any!!  (just not as portable!)
