[ICOM] RE: IC-PW1 Problem

[Tony Visco]

Jim,

Now what I described on a quick QSO like your had no affect since in the
tuner's internal memory is that approximate frequency, therefore the tuner
was ready to go.  There is an "amp-protect" circuit that I assume helps in
protecting its own self destruction.

Anyway it is a complicated piece of equipment that I do like.

Ten-Tec or Alpha amp!  Tubes rule!
