Try the Kenwood TR7930 or TR7950. The guts are an improved version of the TR7800, which I used for years and enjoyed. I've recommended the TR7930 to W9MAF and KC2KO, both of whom are satisfied with the radio. The audio amplifier/speaker combination in the ICOM IC27 series doesn't seem to be loud enough for mobile use, and I know 2 ICOM owners who had their audio stages fail. -- =============================================================================== Bob Parnass, Bell Telephone Laboratories - ihnp4!ihu1h!parnass - (312)979-5414
