I'd like to get my hands on a IC-R9500 msrp for it is around 13000 .... WOW! At the same time I wonder how much better it is than a $500 uniden 996... Anyone done any comparative test?

Yeah but still cool stuff!! I've gone to local hamfests and haven't seen any heightened radios powered up to play with!! This year I suppose I'll have to attend a larger one!!
