[ICOM] IC-761

[Frank A. Ellis]

Hi Adam,

Sure, you are welcome. A by-product of a more
complicated time when I voraciously scoured the
internet for pictures of classic ICOM gear. I probably
have tens of thousands of pictures, all categorized in
folders, whew, there are a lot of them.

I almost slipped and mentioned out loud that I have a
"Logic Unit A" installed in my heavily-modified
IC-745, but that would have just raised too many other
questions. As far as I know, my 745 is the first ever
to have full CI-V frequency control. I have done a
couple others for guys that always wanted CI-V in
their 745's, but lamented the fact that ICOM never
offered it, and were convinced it could not be done.
One fellow uses his 24/7 as part of the ARRL Digital
Traffic Network, his software scans the radio and the
TNC connects via PACTOR and handles traffic
automatically.

ICOM stands for "I" "C"lever, "O"ld "M"an.

73 and my best wishes for a great New Year!
