[ICOM] 756pro

[Jim Miller]

Got that right.  I looked at the specs for the Ameritron ALS500 and for the
AL1500 and compared them to the 746 manual and both should have been OK -
BUT, I opted for the external relay because it was a lot cheaper than a trip
to the repair depot.  All is well here with the relay and I do not intend to
try it any other way.

I happened to use W2ENY products for ICOM.  This one now $35 delivered.

73, Jim
