I have 1 of those icoms, and like it a lot. Don't use it that much though.
It doesn't cover 220, you are right.

Well there goes that idea, I wanted a cool looking cb/ssb/weather radio

with cb/ssb/weather/shortwave/frs and a mod to listen to 10 meter? I
don't have a ham radio license but I enjoy listening.


That radio is called an IC-706MKIIG.

With the mod, it covers everything, has 100 watts on HF, and will do
49MHz, MURS and FRS. I think it misses 220 though. With a tech ticket,
you could cover a lot of ground with that one.
