I currently do not own or operate these models.Have used them in the past.These models were the IC-40GX. IC-40S. IC-R10. 256 Channel IC-F40GT. 99Channel IC-U210T. Wide band only IC-F2010(160 Channels) 32 channel IC-F410 and a 256channel IC-F610.

The IC-F610 was a very brief period of about six months.The main reason for purchasing it was to experiment.This model is a feature packed commercial.The modulation is acceptable and adjustable functions are user friendly.It is quite pretty to look at especially at night in a car.That sleek design with all the backlit buttons presents quite an image.


I have no regrets upon parting ways with the IC-F610.It was an enjoyable experience.The IC-U210T was owned for a year.I traded it in for the F2010 when they were released onto the market as a IC-F1000 Series.The old IC-F2010 saw a lifespan of about 12 years.This model is a superb performer at long distance contacts with other stations.

The IC-F410 i only had for a few years.It is also quite capable of long distance modulation.My previous handsets the IC40GX. IC40S and IC-F40GT had good quality modulation.I never received any negative comments in context of the transmit audio.
