[Icom] Does the new Icom Pro require

Mon, 18 Feb 2002 07:14:16 -0600

I froze the relays of my 756 Pro the very first time I tried to drive my
Ameritron AL-800H.  Luckily they came unstuck using the Armstrong method.
Ever since then I have used the Yaesu FRB-757 external relay even after
upgrading to the Alpha 99.  Why take a chance when this part is available
from AES Milwaukee for $31.99?  I know that we have new members of this list
all the time, but why do we have revisit this subject every three months or
so? Are our memories that bad?  73,  Terry KS9Y
