Vajk,
The ID-800H has been getting rave reviews around Denver. Unless you need the added built-in GPS and Dual Watch capabilities of the ICOM 2820 what I've heard is the ID-800 is the better choice. I have worked a ID-800H mobile user @ 15 Watts with standard dual band antenna from our Mt. Thorodin (Starr Peak) D-STAR System to Cheyenne, WY which is about 95 miles which speaks well for its capabilities. You can also download the operating manual from ICOM for more specific information on the radio and it's operation.
