Gi day viewers, just a quick over view of these two HF base station radios, both have the same form factor but offer different features, lets take a look.
You are missing the extra mode on the Alinco that the Icom does not have...FM, I have had my SR 9 for 2 years and never had an issue with it. Solid radio...
Alinco does close to 125 watts on side band and over 40 watts on AM. I have two of them, one for portable use and one on my third shack. Great value, I get great reports, use it mostly on side band calling CQ. Compatible with Kenwood mics which is a plus, stock mic is awful, use Kenwood mic instead.
