[ICOM] Re Icom T-90a

[Gary Fiber]

Its unlikely the charger will power the T90A properly. Yes it might for 
receive but not for transmit. Even when receiving you need to look at the 
current draw of the T-90A and the current output of the charger. You would 
probably be best to connect it to a regulated higher amperage power supply. 
I have not looked but would think a nice 12 volt supply will do the trick 
of some 3 amps or more.
