IC-2SAT

Hmmm

Having spoken to Icom, they are unable to get me a new microprocessor for my stuffed IC-2SAT.

They do, however, have a replacement 'logic' PCB - Logic Unit PCB Assembly 8888800115 in stock $270

I have emailed them, suggesting that the $270 is slightly outlandish, given the fact that a new dual band radio is available for not much more than that.

They are yet to respond....

On a happier front, checkout the http://www.alinco.com web site. Their devices dont cost that much, and sure are feature packed. I suspect that I may give up, and part with about $200 or so shortly, just to secure a decent frequency agile UHF handheld. My Motorola HT220 is crystal bound, and it appears as though the Canberra Ginin repeater is no longer on 438.525.
