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

[John Geiger]

No need to apoligize for asking the question.  It was
a ligitimate and interesting question with mostly
useful responses.

If you find the discussion boring, find the delete key
on the keyboard.  Doesn't seem that hard of a
solution.

Hope you were able to make a decision that was right
for you.  Hate to say it on an Icom reflector, but I
can't see the sense in paying more for a radio that
has 10 less bands on it, only AF DSP if you buy the
add on, 1 filter width (if you add the optional
filters) and limited crossband repeat/remote control
capabilities.  Not sure the extra 25 watts on 70cm
would make up for all of those losses.
