[Icom] PW1 ?

Thu, 26 Jun 2003 07:31:15 -0500

Hi,  I can't imagine replacing the Titan for the PW-1.  The PW-1 is noisy
and delivers 500 watts less power.  How long does it take you to switch
bands, and antenna now using the Titan?.  I bet it less then a minute.  If
you want less power from the Titan just reduce the drive and let both the
Pro II and the Titan we'll be loafing.  This from a happy Alpha 99 owner.
