[ICOM] Icom 718 and Computer

[PA3DUV]

John,

I run a winlink PMBO with FIVE IC718 radio's connected to modem and computer 
and they sometimes transmit all five at the same time.
No problem with either 718 or computer. Th computer is a well engineered and 
shielded HP e-PC.
Hallelujah on the 718, a great little radio.

Cheers, Dick Knol
