Default Best Modern Radios?

I just wonder how it would stack up against one of those new Icom R-9500's
in performance in reliably? Becauss I am thinking very hard about trading my
340 and my JRC-545 in on one of these this fall. I am not sure if they are
even out yet but should be any day now. I only live 30 miles from Universal
and on vacation might take bike ride up today.

Come on guys, I was just joking with ya. Years ago my brother in law
bought
a million dollar printing press for his business. It came with a one year
warranty. Why is it that if you buy a $200 TV or a $4300 radio, or a
million dollar machine, you get a one year warranty? For that price they
should say "if your great great great grandkid brings it in for repairs,
we
will stand behind it". Ric.

Most initial component failures occur within a few weeks; after a year
stuff just gets old. The RX-340 has built-in diagnostics and this
makes repairs a lot easier. I suspect most have been running for
years without a blip.
