Hi everyone,
I am new to this forum for ICOM. I have had quite a few people recommend ICOM. I am looking at ICOMs and I was wanting to get any information and/or recommendations on radios before I buy. I have commercial frequencies that I use in the VHF range. I am also a licensed amateur radio operator. So I like the radio to do both. My biggest concern is getting a radio that has a good reverse burst feature for squelch tail elimination. I want something that is quiet and does not give me squelch crash everytime I listen. I currently have a vertex vx-2200 and the squelch tail elimination is not adjustable so I either get a quiet close on the receiver or a nasty squelch crash. I was told that ICOMs don't seem to have that issue. So is there any recommendations on a radio that will suit my needs? Any and all responses are greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone.
