[Icom] QSK w/756Pro??

Wed, 3 Jul 2002 20:34:14 +0200

I am using a IC-746 and 756, I love them both EXCEPT OFTHOSE DAMNED RELAYS.
I had Ten-Tec�s OMNI before, loved QSK, but now only Semi-BK. I accept it
because the rigs are great. But if someone say they cant hear the relay, I
would suggest them to visit the doctor :-)

Kind regards from a proud Icom relay radio user.

Per OZ1EQC

IC-746, IC-756, IC-4KL.
