ok... I think we all knew that... but from what I read... ICOM is not JRC...
just cause ICOM is "made in Japan".. that does not make it JRC...

I did not see any affiliation to JRC in the article...

so.. whats your point?

All,
I have been using a JRC JHP-500 handheld radio for field communications
and have been a bit disappointed with it's performance. It has a
standard 6" flex antenna. When I am in the air and someone tries to
talk with me using the handheld, the transmission always sounds very
weak, even if I am flying right over the top of them at the airport.
For all I know, the radio is fine and the real culprit may simply be
the antenna.
Any suggestions?
Any suggestions on other (stock) handheld transceivers that have worked
well for others that won't break the bank?
