Standard Horizon - just feels like a nicer radio to use.

I currently use a Horizon handheld and it has given me excellent service over the years, but I am soon switching to the new Icom M23 - not because there is anything wrong with my trusty Standard Horizon but because the new Icom is much lighter and has better battery life.
