[ICOM] PW 1

[htankin at comcast.net]

Bill,

First congrats on re-assembling the station and getting a PW-1..Great amp.

I've been running two rigs with my PW1 for about 4 years. Various combinations of 756 Pro, 706MKII, 775dsp, and 746 at one time or another. Current set up is a 756 PRO and a Yaesu Mark V Field.

No special tricks or requirements, just go ahead and set up per the manual. For some the manual has been a bit unclear on the actual set up procedures and required assistance.  But other than that pretty straight forward.

73s,

Harry WE1X
