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".


None of the substitutes require modification. The collectabilty and
value are not changed. All the subs are directly reversible.

And at the same time, performance during use is improved.
