I have the Icom IC-7000 in my 80 and have it setup for a quick transfer to the family-truckster Denali (under 5 min start-to-finish).

But I too have been looking at the HTs and after nearly buying the Icom 92 with GPS mic for nearly $1k, I've pretty well decided to just spend $300 and go with a vx7.

It is really small but still really feature packed. I don't have any need for D-star even though everyone tells me it is the future and I'll eventually wish I had it. Ditto for the GPS mic.

I really wanted to stay with Icom just for the 'more similar' programming and features, but Icom just doesn't offer anything like the vx7 at the same price point.
