[ICOM] TS-2000 vs. IC-910

[Michael P. Olbrisch]

Not nasty - just tired of dealing with the kenwood factory mentality.  And
sending it back two and three times for the same problems, problems that
they can't quite seem to duplicate on the bench.  And that goes back to the
driver transistor and auto-tuner in the 930.

Sorry you think it is "NASTY".  Just my experience repairing 1/2 the radios
in this town before telling them no more kenwoods.  Besides - that is why
this is an ICOM list!  <grin>

Glad I don't have to make a living doing it.

Mike.
