[Icom] noisy

[Gil Kellersman]

Hi Dan:

Just curious why you did not order the Piexx
(Hillsboro, NH) board for your 751A? It looks like it
will do the trick also. I have a 751A which I will
NEVER depart with and was curious how it compares to
your 765? Are their any pluses or minuses on each one.
I use mine for SSB and AM only, no CW. Have fun at
Dayton and try and provide a trip report on new
products, etc. 73's, Gil K1RRR
