icon radio's?

[Guest x2371]

Looking to buy icon's i60 portable high band radio's. They seem to be great water proof inexpensive 5 yr warranty. Does anyone have them and how do you like them? We tested them out seem to be really good radio for the money. About $400 with the 5yrs warranty.

I hear they're basically Kenwood radios with a few less features. Is this true? As long as they work, it doesn't matter what name is on them.

Yes, Icom is a Great Radio, It is very tough compared to like a bk /old saber type of the older generation.Now everything seems to be plastic and small. I am not terribly empressed with any of the new generation radios on the market today. However, Icom,Kenwood,Yaesu have all be around for years in the Ham community and Only Wish They were Type accepted for Commerial Use. (but I guess the Lobbying Power of Big M will never let that Happen. Good luck
