I'm on the opposite side. I've never owned a Vertex but have
had an ICOM A-22 for about six years. It works great and
have never had a problem with it.

Jeff,

I bought a VXA-210 about a year and a half ago and I love it. It's worked
great. My only complaint is the SMA style antenna connector (vs. BNC).
Requires an adapter to convert to BNC for plugging in an external antenna.

I have friends with ICOM radios and they like them a lot. I've never used
one myself nor have I compared side by side ICOM with Vertex Standard.

You might want to google the newsgroups for information as I recall
several similar threads.
