[ICOM] Re: Power Meter

[AA6DX - Mark]

I have an NS-660PA also too ... would like remote element(s) -- 
AND, whilst playing with my IC-736 into my Henry, I forgot one switch and 
proceeded to fry the forward meter in my 21 year old Daiwa 720B -- anybody 
any idea of where to get a junker, or the meter movement to fix it .. ?? Not 
available from Daiwa ..  natch .. Gotta keep my ICOMS operating into proper 
loads!  Mark  AA6DX
