[ICOM] PW-1 Amp

[Gary]

It's up to you Jerry. The PW-1 is a solid state device and generally doesn't suffer degradation from
being ON however, the many fans that run may draw in and deposit more dust than you'd care for if you
leave it running which means more frequent cleaning would be in order in my experience, others' may
vary.
