Just got an Icom IC-V8000>>>

and i am enjoying it so far. But it's confusing as all hell to program and get used to.....LOL!!
Oh well....that goes with the territory with being a newbie. I also got the optional HM-133V
mic. Pretty handy to have most of the functions at your finger tips.

I got mine about a year ago - the thing is built like a tank and what's not to like about having 75W?!

I also picked up one of the Nifty guides, which makes using it a heck of a lot easier:

icom has the instruction manuals on there website for download. just in case you dont have one. even then there still a little sketchy.

I've got the 2200 and I love it.

What's your call and location? Perhaps I can give you a shout.
