[ICOM] PW 1

[htankin at comcast.net]

Bill,

One accessory cable (7-pin DIN) should come with the PW-1.  I bought a second from Burghardt's.  I believe the accessory cable is shielded, but not certain.

I have heard reports that the cable for the remote head is not shielded, and prone to picking up RF.
