True. :)

When I was a kid, I used to have lots of fun with an old Russian "Okean" 
receiver which had a bunch of different bands (LW/MW/SW1,2,3../UHF). Proved 
very useful for testing my SW/FM transmitter designs, and once I even 
managed to pick up a telephone conversation on the UHF (still have no idea 
how that worked).

The Icom is now at the top of the list of things I want for Christmas. ;-)
