Since I am allocated limited space in my home for amateur radio, I have to use it to the fullest. One way to accomplish this is to utilize vertical space. My area is packed from floor to ceiling so that I can fit in as much as possible in order to accomplish my radio goals. My next home should offer more space, but for now I make do with what I have. The Icom in my van is a mobile transceiver that I am impressed with. For the most part I tend to favor the Icom radios over the other manufacturer radios in both mobile application as well as in the shack. Yaesu has a number of annoyances that has inclined me away from the products over time. Kenwood systems have an impressively rich sound, however, they seem to be trailing in innovation just now and their price-point is not consistent with available features. Vintage Kenwood is of more interest to me than contemporary Kenwood.
