Spend the extra money and get the Icom IC-A23. You will be much happier. I have used mine in the KR all over the USA and never have had any problems. They have great customer service as well if you do have any issues. They are very helpful with phone support as well.
Before I bought my 23 and 23 sport, I asked the guys at will call at the Calif. Spruce what their experience had been. I was told the others are returned quite a bit more often than the Icom. Just my .02. Regards, Steve Glover Long-EZ N2121U (Former KR-2 N902G) AJO, Ca <kr...@cox.net> -----Original Message----- Bill, I am also looking at Vertex radio equipment. I have used Yaesu (Vertex) ham radios for a while now & pretty much like them. O ----- Original Message -----
