[Icom] +Dusting Icom Rigs

Paul-

Got one--is a great clock but even though it can be set for 24 hour readout,
it won't keep UTC but keeps reverting to your USA time zone. Is right on
accurate though. Maybe someone knows how to "mod" it to think it is in
England?? :-) I got the wall clock with large LED's for the same $19.95.
