[Icom] PIEXX UX-14PX Plus for IC751/A

Wed, 27 Mar 2002 10:24:07 -0500

By way of interest on this subject:

o The original cost of the UX-14 in 1990 was $72.50. It has only a 1/8"
jack. No software was included.
o The original cost of the CT-17 in 1990 was  $97.50
o The instruction book for the CT-17 contains a schematic; the book with
the UX-14 does not but has a block diagram.
o I recall someone on the list saying the main chip in the UX-14 is no
longer available (presumably meaning from ICOM) This suggest that the
replacement is a new design.

How much did the $ inflate in 12 years :-)
