I need to replace my old IC-A20 which I let go with the Fisher when I Sold it.

 

Looking for info/comments on the IC-A6 which I think will suit my needs

 

Cheers Davo :o)

The Vertex functions OK for me and is solidly built however I really dislike the menu structure and the tiny screen with minimal information. If buying again I would look at other brands although I'm not sure of the cost difference currently. If you operate mostly in one area this probably isn't an issue. I'm not sure if KC is referring to a possible lack of local Vertex dealers or non compliance with some Australian design rule.... if the latter I personally wouldn't give a toss - if it's good enough for the rest of the world is will be good here too.

I have an Icom A-15, it works fine, but 2 things I don't like, the lovely ergonomic shape makes it hard to mount anywhere, and the Li-po battery cannot be plugged into another power source, you have to sit the whole radio in it's 240v desk charger.
