Beautiful simplicity

I bought mine after I got my first "real job" in 1983. It's simple. It doesn't have games stored in memory when there's no one to talk to. It doesn't tell you the time. You turn it on, set the volume and squelch, dial in the frequency, set it for repeater or simplex and high or low power. Then push to talk from there. I added a ComSpec board. The extra switch near the off switch activates it. In those dark how-did-you-stay-alive? days before cellular, I did autopatch with it. You can't ask for more out of a radio. And I still have it!

Just like the IC-2AT, this unit is rugged and reliable. No frills, just dial the frequency on the thumbwheels. The on/off switch is on the right side, and the back has the low/high power switch and the duplex/simplex switch. Has great audio on transmit and receive. The receive audio is loud, for those who's hearing is not the greatest. Got mines used, and am enjoying the local 222 MHz repeater. I'm using the BP-4 battery pack with alkalines, so I don't need the battery charger, although I have lots of battery packs.
