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

Wed, 27 Mar 2002 20:50:10 -0000

Hi guys.

Before diving in and spending $$'s. Take a close look at the limited command
structure which is offered within the 751A under CAT control. Personally I
wouldn't go to the trouble of fitting one. I had done so a while ago, and
really it is not that exciting, by comparison to the later Icoms which have
a great range of potential CAT functions.

Just a thought :-).

Regards,
