[Icom] Last Word on Internal Keying Relays (I hope...)

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 09:01:45 -0500

Blind trust is BLIND.

I am conservative by nature, but when someone expresses an
"absolute" with warnings, I do like to know the source of
that info.

Surely you have noted that there is a LOT of garbage info on
the net?
