[ICOM] Icom IC-208

[Alan C. Zack]

Are you still using the AN/GRC-27 multi channel air to ground?  At 
several Coast Guard Air Stations we operate and maintain our own 
towers and the Avionics techs also maintain the tower radios.  The 
single channel sets were easy, but the big, old GRC-27 was a bear to 
have standard power out thru out it's full range.
