- Obviously your mileage does vary but I dont consider 90 very far at all. And they are certainly within the same active Thunder storm REGION. The storm that I witnessed, and its tornadoes, was worst i

- TenTec has advised me that my O II did not survive the burn-in on the test rack: it suffered multiple failures. Paul told me that they could fix the known failures, but it would be very expensive and

- Kim, Sorry for all your travails. Those moments aren't fun. For what it's worth, I bought my O-II with the auto-tuner, and I have been very happy with it. It seems very stable, tunes quickly, and mat

- That really is a shame. Maybe you could do like the fad in the 50's with baby shoes and have it "bronzed" :-) I still have an IC-271A (2M all-mode if you're not familiar with 80's Icom radios) up in

- Sorry for your loss! In my line of business, we have found that lightning strikes/surges generally produce a long list of "latent failures" and you would be forever repairing your radio. A latent fai
