Seeing a review on this radio really brought back memories. Those were the days, when ten watts and thumbwheel frequency selection made you the king of the band! I had no problems and the radio sounded great on transmit and recieve. They seem to be somewhat rare, and I can't remember when I've seen one for sale. Of course, by today's standards, it doesn't offer much. Still, a good rig for its day.

I first came across one of these rigs, IC-22U when I first started out in Amateur Radio. At the time I had just brought a new IC-2A, so when I saw the IC-22U with the similar thumb wheel type arrangement for frequency selection I decided to purchase it. At the time, I used it mobile for what was then (late 1980's) a few 2 metre repeaters around. I always got good reports on audio, and it hit any repeater I could hear (in Wellington New Zealand). There where no memories (same as an the IC-2A), but was great to use. I have never seen another one, I sold mine later to get a new IC-290H for all mode 2 metre work. Wished I'd kept it now of course, but needed the dollars at the time for the all mode rig. I think is was really the later brother to the old IC-22S, which was a 22 channel diode type rig. If you can find one, it would greatly add to a collection of early ICOM 2M rigs.
