No offence, but you need your head looking at for that, the 2006 aren't
even in the same league as the Icom.
Ebay the Icom and buy 2 2006's or a real radio like an AOR.


Oh sure AOR's are real allright - Until you need a spare part and vainly try
to find the faintest hint of customer support or a consumer base.
It was only through the grace of God that I ended up finding a new keypad for
my 1000 after months of searching - And this was years ago when they were
still top of the line.
Pretty much the same for Yupiteru from what I've heard.
Icom,I don't know,but I seriously doubt if they could match Realistics
support and availability - which should be a factor to consider when
investing in any electronic gizmo with parts prone to wear.

The PCR1000 go for around 200-250 on e-bay while the Pro-2006 with a Opto
board (not to mention the other mods he wanted) are going for 250-350 on e-bay.
How could he get two?
