Alan,

 AB> The one thing I don't like about ICOM.

  Let me try this again. I had a brief power outage a moment ago, and 
while the UPS kept things going, the keyboard quit working for a bit.

  Shortly after I was first licensed, I was told by a Kenwood owner 
that ICOM stood for "I Can Only Monitor". Ironically, at Hamvention 
in Xenia this past year, rumors were rampant that Kenwood was getting 
out of producing ham radio gear. 

  The Kenwood folks referred to the Icom rigs as "Ickeys"...although 
the first  HT I had was an Icom 2-GAT 2 meter HT. Compared to today's
rigs, it was so easy to program and setup, whether with PL tones,
frequencies, etc. Nowadays, if you don't have the programming cable
and software, you'll never get it set up.
