It's simple.....for Rob a radio is not all about the numbers. You have to enjoy what you are operating and those are what he happens to enjoy.

I'm generally pleased with them all. I did own an Icom IC-211 once. After fixing it more times that I can remember I gave it to a friend who also had one. I often said that it was a measure of his character that I gave him that radio and yet we remained friends. So, I've never been a fan of Icom. That said, if Rob Sherwood's QRZ page is up to date, the guy whose words are gospel to the Elecraft (dare I say Koolaid drinkers...nah) crowd, has Kenwood, Icon and Flex radios in his shack. Not an Elecraft in sight. I don't know what that means...just an observation.
