[ICOM] 756pro

[Mike - 2007]

The switching transistor on many ICOM radios is incapable of handling the
current demand of many amps.

IMHO - you have just blown that circuit.  The radio will likely need to be
repaired - and you will need to use a relay in between in order to keep the
radio from doing that again.

Or - fix the radio, sell the amp, and get a PW-1.

Sorry - please don't shoot the messenger.  Not only because it is the right
thing to do - but also because this messenger shoots back.
