[ICOM] Tough Icom rigs

[Fern]

Sorry to bust anybody's bubble on this but the original Clear Speech Speaker 
will blow all of those DSP-59 in the dust. Make sure that it's the early 
version, not the one's that Bob Heil messed up.
On another note, I have both the IC-761 and the IC-765 and the IC-765 is a 
much better radio with more features although the IC-761 isn't too bad a rig 
either.
