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

[Dave]

Ahh okay Bruce, I hadn't realised that they had implemented anything other
( mind you that uis enough in itself ) than a cpu to civ interface. Of
course I know of their products, and please don't think I was knocking them
in any way, as I wasn't. Just thought it may be expensive for it's limited
use on the 751.

Thanks for that info though Bruce.

Best Regards,

Dave.
