[ICOM] IC-230

[AA6DX - Mark]

I ordered one before they were released, and then later got one with a 
temporary "destruction manual" .. was a dealer at the time.  A month later, 
went to SAROC, the big Amateur Radio convention in Las Vegas, and .. "ta 
daa" .. won one!  So I had 2 of them, one in each car!  Loved `em, but 
wasn't too long before the dial lamps started failing!  This was .. what .. 
1973?  Think so.  73, y'all .. Mark, AA6DX.

I purchased one when they first come to market and it was the best rig Icom
ever manufactured. All the other Icom rig I owned after the IC-230 left a
lot to be desired .
