[Icom] Does the new Icom Pro require

[Steve Jones]

Charlie I am running the 91B so according to what you said, I should not
need the external box?? I use my amp all the time but packed the manual away
after using it for a month or two because I no longer needed it. I guess I
will need to go fishing again. By the way if you do need that relay box does
anyone sell one as my eyesight and hands are not steady enough anymore to do
this kind of assembly. Thanks Charlie and to all replies, it helped a lot.
By the way is the Icom net still going on these days??? 73, Steve
