Ran across a brief review, more of a complaint about the the IC-v86 receiver. About images from NWS, other issues with the front end.
According to the specs, IC-v80 receiver is double conversion superheterodyne. New IC-v86 is direct conversion.
Oh well..
Replacement for the IC-V80.
Realize that it's a new release. Still waiting on reviews, regarding the front end. Intermod etc.
From reading the manual, appears similar to V-80.
