The IC-215 is getting morę and morę popular also as it combmes the advantages of a portable, which can be operated anywhere, with the ability to double as a Iow power base station by virtue of its 3 Watts of output and S0239 antenna connector on the back. Of course there are facilities to operate it from an external power supply, and if it is fitted with Ni-Cads you can arrange to tnckle charge these at the same time. The batteries used are of a sensible size being C type (or Uli) instead of the 'penlight' batteries used by most of its competitors. This gives at least three times the operatmg power when you are away from home which you will appreciate if ever you have run out of battery in the middle of OSO1 It comes already crystalled up for 12 channels, S20, S22 and all the repeater channels Oto 9 We thmk the extra power and larger batteries far outweigh the advatages of having the extra channels produced from a synthesizer.

ICOM's rangę of sideband portables has been recently expanded. The well known and tested IC-202E has now been improved in the form of the IC 202S which has lower side band fitted also and provides sidetone on CW The receiver has been hotted up making it even morę suitable for use as a base station, either barefoot or as a prime mover. The new IC 402 is the 70cm version of the 202S giving the same facilities as its 2m cousin over the rangę 432-435 2 MHz. Both use a very stable VXO Circuit, to give fully tuneable coverage of the band a 200 kHz segments and both have extremely clean signals so that using them to drive a linear to the fuli legał limit presents no problems. We are very impressed with both the 2Ó2S and the 402.
