[SixClub] ICOM 551D

[Tom Peters]

I have one that is my sole 6m radio. Aside from the fact that the 
compressor makes me sound a little hard to understand, it's a pretty 
reliable little workhorse. The display is off a little- zero beat with 
almost anyone at 50.125 and it reads 50.124.8, but hey, close enough for me.

What else would you like to know?
