Gary,
You can't beat the 480 for accessibility. Almost all functions are
spoken, and those that aren't either beep high/low, or are voiced
with CW. Also, functions such as power, Mic and Vox gain are easily
accessed from the keyboard. However, if you want a hot receiver with
good dynamic range and low noise, you can't beat an Icom. Icoms are
less accessible, and they tend to be more intensive, so you have to
decide what's most important to you. I find myself wishing I could
find a rig that had the accessibility of the 480 and the receiver
characteristics of the Icoms, but I'm not holding my breath.
