[Icom] DC Power Cable

Sun, 08 Sep 2002 12:16:22 -0700

Hi Steve,

No, the newer Icom radios make no provision for remotely switching the mains
supply to the PS-15, as the CPU scans the [POWER] switch for radio on/off
and timer control.

The thought of drilling a hole in the radio and fitting a separate switch
makes me cringe. I turn my PS-15 on and off at the mains power strip.

Since this is the case, is there a way to modify this so that the newer rigs
will turn off the older supplies?  Or is this major surgery?  My PS15 never
shuts off...thanks
