[PCR-1000] Input for Icom at Dayton

[A10382]

It would probably be best if each person kept their input without personally
consolidating it with others - unless they see a 'feature' that they really
want or need.  'Wish Lists' have a way of becoming cumulative (the 'herd
instinct at work).  A person will add his or hers and not remove the ones
they don't care about.

    Many a manufacturer has been fooled by cumulative surveys.

-----------------------
Good input here. I have to believe that 'panel space' is a premium on the
unit.  $800USD may put it out of the competitive range.  WinRadio's 1.5GhZ
External is slightly higher than Icom's - although I haven't looked in
while.  Win Radio's 3gHz unit is higher USD$ ???.

Did not know that AOR made a CCR.  Does AOR news suffer a time lag from
across the pond or did I just miss them ?
