I have an Icom WM32A that I picked up in 1999. Works fine, when I can figure out how to work it. Claims to have an "Intuitive" interface. Perhaps to C3PO or R2D2, or one of their human clones, but not to this mere mortal. Otherwise it works fine. It is both 144 and 440 MHz and capable of full duplex operation using both of those bands. Guess that's one of the "features" everyone needed. Right.... Receives both FM and AM and tunes the aircraft and weather frequencies.
My favorite was an old Kenwood from the 1980's - all thumbwheel switches, FM only and simple to operate. In a moment of madness I sold it.

What is the most popular, reliable and bestist - mobile handi-talki, out there now? I did eham review searches on IC-T90A, TH-F6A and Yaseu's VX-6R and 7R. Seems like for every one - some one or 2 hams found a lemon and bought one them gave them fits. The wideband, Am & shortwave receive capability - sounds interesting, for my US/Canadian border location. Who know I can eavesdrop on the freighters as the ply their way up and down the St. Lawrence. :( de Fred N3CSY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
