[FedCom] WARNING about new ICOM receivers.

[Larry Van Horn, N5FPW]

Keep in mind I do not work in the Grove offices. I'm a field guy. ;-)))

I will call the office this afternoon to see where they got this stuff at. 
Looks like the web people didn't do their homework at Universal or Grove.

Why, the GROVE ENTERPRISE website, of course.  In fact I "selected" and 
copied the list directly from there to my email message.  They were also 
posted on the Universal Radio website.

I believe I said specifically that that was a possibility.  But with your 
own website listing coverage as missing various segments of the milair, 400, 
800 and 900 MHz. bands, I feel that concern about what one might be 
ordering/'buying is not being overly concerned with freq. coverage.  Those 
segments are simply not disposable.  I'd still encourage anyone buying these 
radios before things are clarified by actual sales here in the US to get a 
guarantee of coverage in writing before sending a check.
