[aprssig] NEW! IC-V82 - VHF/APRS Transceiver

[scott at opentrac.org]

I have emailed all the major radio manufacturers, and never even received a
'thank you for your feedback' type form letter.  Their American sites seem
to be just resellers, and the corporate sites apparently don't talk to
Americans.

The one manufacturer I've actually had any kind of good contact with is
Ten-Tec.  If they sold 2 meter radios, I'd buy one.
