[ICOM] opinions needed

[Mike Olbrisch]

Good morning.

I like separate radios in the house.  Allows for flexibility - work 2m FM and
HF-SSB at the same time.  Do that often - no.... but often enough.  Emergencies,
chatting with friends on 40m while listening for my friends on 70 cm, things
like that.  And if something happens to one radio, I don't lose the whole shack
while troubleshooting and repairs are going on.

I like a single radio in the car - especially as the newer cars seem to have
less and less space for radios.

So I guess the answer is - it depends!
