[ICOM] NO MORE TS-2000 vs. IC-910H DISCUSSION

[Michael Raskin]

Since I was the "one" who originally asked a legitimate question about 
comparing the IC-910H and the TS-2000, I would like to step in and apologize 
for the subsequent boring and nasty comments that followed.  I do thank 
those who provided substantive and meaningful information.   I have been on 
this reflector for many years and I love all of the Icoms which I have 
previously owned (775, 781, and 756 PRO series).  I now have a 7800 which is 
the best yet "for my needs."   My question was raised because I wanted to 
try weak signal 2M CW and, eventually, SAT.  The TS-2000 and IC-910H are the 
two currently produced rigs which can easily do this.  I posted my original 
query on both this reflector and the Kenwood reflector.  I received many 
comments on this reflector, including some sarcastic, condescending, and 
belittling ones.  The Kenwood reflector exhibited none of this (maybe 
because there are not many TS-2000 users on SAT).  However, all replies on 
the Kenwood reflector were informative and cordial.  One individual has both 
the TS-2000 and IC-910H and another had used both but kept the TS-2000.  I 
was only trying to get some consensus as which one would better suit my 
needs.  Instead, I got a lot more than I asked for.  If anyone has any 
constructive comments concerning comparison of the two rigs, please reply 
privately to my email address at w4um at arrl.net.
