As an owner of an Icom... I have to agree with the above post. The ribbon cable design is horrible if you ask me.
Appear to have similar specs, however the Garmin is $600 dollars more expensive. Comments please.

but Icom has nice knobs

Enjoy your SL40!
total junk... POS, try to get a radio repaired, total nightmare!
There have been several posting over the years about the ability to read the displays in direct sunlight and was I hoping that with more units in the field there is more user feedback.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Gents,
I have been toying with the idea of swapping out my SL-40 for the ICOM A210 due to the larger display size. I came across a great price for a unit (actually 2 units) brand new for $760/ea delivered.
I was going to experiment to see which one I liked best and then sell the one I don't like.
Am wasting my time? Is the SL-40 overall performance superior to the A210. I plan on upgrading the A210 firmware if it isn't current.
I haven't had any problems with my SL-40 since installed about 1.5 yrs ago.
Let me know your thoughts.
Thanks,
Yes and YES.Am wasting my time? Is the SL-40 overall performance superior to the A210.
