    I've had great service from ICOM handheld radios, have a couple of A20's have used it for 10 yrs in the Kitfox and have a A6 in the Champ, just bought it last spring and I really like it works good, has side tone so you can hear yourself in the headset, has a large screen to see the numbers, is small and light. I'm thinking I'll upgrade the Kitfox with the Icom A6 next spring.

    I also have the Icom A24, and plan to mount it on the my panel. Your set up looks good, how did you secure it to the panel? Is the Icom wired to the intercom??

    Thanks
