respectable. As I understand it the difference in range between 8 watts
and half that is hardly noticeable but getting the SWR of the antenna
correct is a big factor. The aeroelectric list sometimes asks if you
know any HAM radio operators that might have an SWR meter but I don't
know much about antennas. I would predict that icom will offer $200.
rebates at sun'n fun in addition to competitive pricing. I am not
impressed by the A200 LCD display so I like the A210 display. My A200
is quite sensitive to mic gain adjustments but for all I know all radios
are.

I checked into this and ended up talking to Tom Glaze at ACS. They needed
500 orders to get that 1058 price, but unfortunately they have only about
100 right now, and likely won't make it to 200 by tomorrow.
While this radio has some nice features, I noticed that it only has 5 watt
transmit output. I thought most had 7 and some have 10.
Some of the places I fly in the mountains here, I am often out of range with
transmit. I can hear a long ways, but can't talk to them.
