[ICOM] 781 cooling kit

[k2sb at comcast.net]

The Sherwood cooling kit for the Icom 781 is  a must if you run it in 
contests and long time on use ..even in standby. I installed them in the 
two 781s I run here ...most time is in contests these days and the 
difference when they did not have the cooling setup is tremendous touching 
the back heat sinks now are warm not HOT. The markings match the original 
so in reselling would not be a detriment infact a good selling point.
     Installation is simple one solder joint easy to get at...it takes 
longer to remove the screws than  the soldering.
