Members,
I ordered a ICOM IC - A6 Aviation transciver and received it from Aircraft Spruce. I have read and tried to follow the instructions in the manual and still cannot get the thing to work. When I used a search engine to look up the URL of the importer, there was another web site that had the following to say about the instruction manual for this radio. It is copied and pasted below:

Review: The transciever is excellent but as a longtime technical writer/editor I am qualified to judge the instruction manual as the worst I have ever seen. Somebody needs to spend a few bucks to have it revised and sent as a supplement to customers who are stuck trying to figure out how this great transciever works. An on-line revision would help.
If any of you guys have one of these radios and can help me understand how to us it, I would be greatfull since I can't understand the owners manual at all.

Its a pisser all right, IMHO.
First off, you gotta hold the power button down until it yips three or four times! After that it gets worse. If I fiddle with the function key enough and get it to manual, I can enter a freq., by punching the buttons.
Oh the volume knob is rather straightforward....... if you can get that far. Squelch, well now that is another matter.
It is a great radio I agree.
