[SixClub] New (Old) radio

[Christopher Boone]

I have only heard good things about the IC x75 series....A friend of 
mine owned the 275/475 combo for sat work...and they worked well!!!
I know of some guys who owned the 375 220model...and enjoyed it...and 
the 1271 1.2GHz model (I dont think they made a 1275?) was a big hit 
around Houston...especially with the ATV optional module on it..

Receiver seems on par with the 706MKIIg and only a hint of a birdie on 110 which the notch filter tunes out.  Amazingly the notch filter also helps with my persistent power line noise to the east.  The 706's ANF wouldn't touch it.
