[Icom] PS-125 with IC-756Pro2

Thu, 17 Oct 2002 13:19:37 -0700

The PS-125 is an external power supply.  There is no extra room in a 746 to
stick a power supply into it.  I heard that the add-on internal power
supplies on the last generation of Icom radios (like the 745) caused
problems such as heat related frequency drift and noise.

Do you really want to scroll through menu after menu (ala 706/897) to change
a function while opeating a base station just to be able to save some room
to have a built in power supply?  I would rather spend $100 for a little
switcher sitting next to it, better yet, spend nothing and use the power
supplies I already have :)
