[ICOM] Separates

[N5IET Bob]

Your right it would but both radios have a draw back one
compared to the other. My friend has a FT-920 which
receives wonderfully on all bands including 6 mtr, but has
low to no output power.

My Icom 728 is working as designed but of course doesn't
receive as well as the FT-920.

So my thoughts were since my friend would be willing to
sell me the 920 at a reduced price, I would make separates
out of them and use the IC-728 as the Xmit and the 920 as
the RCVR.

Guess I just need to get the 920 and pay to have it fixed
:0)

 73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
