By no stretch of the imagination am I a contester, let alone a serious
contester. I dabble in all the SSB contests, however, and my experience has
been that once a radio has a minimum level of performance, ease of use winds up
being more important. Perhaps the laboratory measurements don't really tell
the whole story:-) The ICOMs are certainly a lot more user friendly than the
American made radios.
I would much rather use my modified IC-7200 over my Eagle under contest
conditions and would much rather use my Eagle when I work my regular schedules.
OK, now flame me.
Mike, WA1SEO
