The IC-240 is the ideał mobile rig for most people. Apart f^rom the fact that it is quite a lot cheaper than most, it is, m fact. morę suitable than many to use in the car while driving (and let'sface it.it is under those conditions that most mobiles are used) It can be operated with ease without takmg your eyes off the road and provides up to 22 channels (which is morę than you are likely to need). Being synthesized, of course. there are no crystals to buy for extra channels Fuli repeat. reverse repeat and automatic tonę burst plus a Iow power facility are selectable from the front panel. By adding a Superscan' at a later datę you can obtain fuli scannmg facilities over the whole band at a VERY competitive price The IC 240is a superbly built and very reliable piece of equipmen: as witnessed by the many thousands in use Ali Icom equipment is built to a very high standard and the IC 240is no exception. H has an excellently sensitwe rece>ver and a very clean transmitter and will give you hours of headache-free pleasurable use - so why not get one now before the price goes up agam'

As usual, ICOM have kept ahead with technology and have produced their revolutionary new IC-280E which uses a microprocessor to produce frequencies throughout the 2m band at the ideał 25kHz spacing required today The IC 280 has the ideał advantage of being separable into two parts for easy mountmg into today's cars which so often forget to leave space for a rig. The removable front panel, with all Controls, is only 3 deep and will fit m any convenient spot — in the glove pocket, on the dash or even on the sun visor' The mam part of the set can be mounted anywhere withm 4 feet — or even further in many cases under the passenger's seat is quite handy¹ Display is of frequency on an LED readout and there are three memories for your favourite channels. These are not cleared when the set is switched off as long as it is left connected to the car battery Less VAT = £217.50 With VAT = £260
