Default Good radio?

So, the T/O line isn't hopeless. But if you're expecting it to handle
like a Drake, you're going to be very disappointed. Like many ICOM's, it
has to be significantly modified before performance excels.


The moment you start making substitutions, no matter how well intended, you
lower the value of the radio except as a "user".

Some people don't care, and want their radio to perform better, some people
want the price they eventually sell it for to be the highest possible one.
