[ICOM] HRD-what is the attraction?

[D C *Mac* Macdonald]

That is why I never bought a 701!
 
My first Icom was an IC-21 24ch 2m FM rig in 1972, followed
shortly by an IC-20 12ch for mobile.  Built and used a GLB
synthesizer on both of them.  Several dozen Icom rigs since
that time.  I think I have about 20 right now, but would have
to check to see how many of them.
