question,
I hear the people comparing the ts-2000 and ic-746 but I would like to know
if anybody has done a side by side comparison of the receivers? Also
receive and xmit audio qualities of each. I know the Kenwoods have what is
commonly considered good audio. I have also heard the Icom's typically have
"compressed and or tight" audio.
Brian, k5in.
