[ICOM] Using Kenwood MC-80 to IC-706

[Adam Farson]

Hi John,

Yes, it is sad...but they are making an awful lot of money in the commercial
(LMR) field. They have a very good line of amateur VHF/UHF kit based on
their LMR platforms (but their D-Star product line is re-badged Icom!) This
makes sense in view of the Icom/Kenwood stock cross-ownership agreement.

Still, I shall stick with my IC-F70T handheld (75 dB IMD rejection on 2m!)

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

That is kind of depressing about Kenwood, isn't it.
