I have a friend that used the 229H and it worked extremely well for him with a GE transmitter and 4 Wacom 8 inch cans. He used a Comspec TS 64 and ran the output of it for the COR - If you had PL you could talk, if not , you couldn't. He owned the gear to keep his cans dead on in operation and it was a very sensitive receiver. I would wholeheartedly agree with Chuck's comments on ham grade receivers if I hadn't witnessed this one first hand.

My first thought is that the Icom won't be selective enough to use in duplexed service. Look for some commercial gear like Mastr II, Exec II, Micor, etc. It can be found quite cheaply and will work well. Ham grade equipment seldom provides decent service in duplex operation.
