    ICOM HM -219 Hand mic smokes the HM-36

    yes, the 7410 is a great rig,, when it came out it was around $2000 then it slowly went down in price over the years,, I have seen several posts on other sites that it is a better rig than the 7300 ,, but the 7300 has more bling bling appeal with the fancy color touch screen

    ICOM HM -219 Hand mic smokes the HM-36

    COMPACTenna V.U.7/800

    picked up the 2m/440 version a few weeks ago, on my gmc terrain it seems to work just fine, really cant tell a difference between it and a 1/4 wave 2m I had on before. it looks good and low profile at only 7.5" tall
