Some may find this to be of interest:
Icom radios will cost more now, and their still junk.
Look inside an Icom and it looks like the inside of
a Chinese-made $39.95 Radio Shack DVD player.
Funny... if I look inside my '8500 I see a cast aluminum,
compartmentalized, shielded chassis.
Much as I like my Yaesu gear, their last great receiver was the
FRG-100.
But, whatever. If you want a religious war, find someone else. I
just like gear that works.
