We don't tell or even "officially" recommend (coordinate) specific types of repeater equipment. We do recommend (coordinate) technical operating parameters such as maximum power, deviation, self-desense, etc. If someone can make a pair of IC-2ATs work at a comm. site, we say congratulations. But if they work the way one would expect given the quality of the radio, then they'll likely have some problems getting coordinated. Bob NO6B
