Radios will always go into different phases of how they "look. And it's
all in the eyes of the beerholder anyhow.

I just love the look of my IC-761. 50 or so pounds of real man's radio
with a BIG freaking knob on it. Booyeah! I also do like the looks of the
TS-480. I own one, and it looks and performs just fine.

What's your idea of a good looking radio, or do you just post about
what you don't like?

OTOH, I know I'm spouting heresy here, but I don't like the way Collins
radios, or HRO's or the old Johnson's look.

The neat thing is if we don't like the way radio's look, we don't have
to buy those ones.
