[Icom] How legit do you think this is?

[Bill Tarkington]

Phil, I have an early model PW-1, and either you are incorrect or I did not
understand what you are attempting to communicate.  THe only difference i am
aware of is whether one can operate barefoot without having the amplifier on
(standby).  I do have a ProII and formerly had the Pro, and I find no
difference whatsoever using them with the early model PW-1. You are correct
that the early models cannot be retrofitted.  I could have traded out for
the later model for $400 difference, but just did not see anything to be
gained that even approached being worth that difference. My PW1 is right up
on the oerating desk, and I do not find the fan noise, what little there is,
to be obtrusive.  Anyway, I would be interested in what you were trying to
say just in case it is something I need to know, but have not stumbled onto
as yet. Can you say it again, a little bit more precisely.  Thanks
