[Icom] IC 756 pro power

Sat, 23 Feb 2002 15:25:58 -0800

I think that Stuart was not being a policeman.  Just indicating that such 
was a bad idea.

He first asked why Andy wanted to increase power, then gave a statement 
that even if so much power was increased that the Rx station would not 
notice, then stated that the quality of the signal would be comprimized, 
then made an assumption.

I make the assumption that if Stuart then told Andy how to do it, you would 
not think that S was a police.

If a guy asked you how to shoot himself you would directly tell him without 
explaining the conscequences?  I might if he had knocked up my daughter, 
but, generally no.
