[Icom] Pro II and using tuner on 6 meters...

[Tony Hwang]

Hi,
I have a VS-35M on my bench and since day 1, it has never given me a 
trouble.
I use this for many different things for trouble-shooting broken radio 
or operating
stuffs passing thru my work bench/operating table.
What a relief here today, finally old man winter loosened his grip. From 
-30C WX
for two weeks to above freezing and sun. Maybe spring is coming.
73,
