[ICOM] Smoked PROII

[Gerard L Krul.]

Adam.
Thanks for the update,if it is a blunder or not depends.
I guess if your transceiver bites the dust account of that input,you will 
call it a blunder.
I do not know if there is a warning in the manual (there should be) I have 
to look if there is or not.
