Looking for some input on the IC-575H and the FT-690R.
I am thinking that I would like a stand alone rig for 6m and thought that
perhap someone could share their experience with this equipment.
My interest is CW/SSB.
Thanks and Happy New Year

I have a 575H and it's a neat rig. Like all Icom's of that era, it uses
these
teeny tiny 'grain of wheat' bulbs and they do go. Last time I checked Icom
had them for $2 each. Hope they still do as I need several.
But it's a great rig, and folks like Scott Malcolm do a great job on fixing
them.
