Collin,  How about the ICOM 6 and 2 meter pack sets?  Vintage 1975 or
so....  They really had a military look compared to other radios at the
time and were only out for a short time.  I think they may have been the
ic201 or Ic501.

does anyone know what the model number of the kenwood 6 meter portable
was?
I found one at a flee market recently and didn't even know one was
made....basically a medium sized radio, with 6 meters SSB, am and
possibly FM and a telescoping antenna that came out of the top...didn't
get a chance to see if it worked on batteries or not.
thought it was the ts600 but might have miss remembered the model.
