Thank you for the interesting information.

The Icomclassic site is handsome.

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!
