[ICOM] Query.

[Michael P. Olbrisch]

Ok - thanks Mac.  I will wait for more reports, if any come forth.  But I
think I am going to look for something a little older then.  It is my hope
to find a good 901 some day.  But until then, I was looking for something to
get us on the road to the fall dog shows.  Thanks.

Mike.
