And then I'm planning to set up a couple of scan memories so when I'm on the road and want to catch some radio traffic I can scan local repeaters plus the national simplex and NorCal (146.460) frequencies. On the IC-208 this means you also have to access another menu to enable the alphanumeric display instead of frequency display (same menu where you set the PL tone, so it's no big deal). system repeater in San Francisco (see The mnemonics certainly aid my old brain and beats trying memorize all the frequencies. I also added 6 character mnemonic names like PLCRVL for the repeater in Placerville that covers the Rubicon (that repeater even reaches to my house in Mill Valley!) or CARL-SF for the C.A.R.L.A. Most of those I put there by hand and you're right, it didn't take all that long. I've got about 20 or 25 frequencies programmed into my IC-208H dual bander. '.just how many frequencies are you radioheads programing into your radio and how often are you changing them?' Field tested extensively on this year's NorCal Death Valley Daze run. In my FJ-62 I mounted the radio under the passenger seat and the antenna (Comet SBB1) on the rear hatch door using a Diamond K400C mount.

(The software is not the most user friendly by today's standards, but it is functional and does what's needed.) Oh yes, another plus: it comes with the extension cable for remotely mounting the faceplate, something that most other vendors charge for. And who says it doesn't interface with a PC? You need a programming cable and Icom software (p/n CS-208), but then you're set to go. Also, it's a dual bander - 2m and 70cm - which I really like. I like it a lot, for just the reasons you said: small detachable face plate, fairly powerful for it's size, and reasonably priced.

I've had an IC-208H in my FJ-62 for about a year now. You've probably already bought your radio by now, so this reply may be of little use.
