[ICOM] IC-746Pro_ALC_SSB_Problem

[Mike - 2007]

Heh heh heh - spell checkers will tell you if it isn't spelled right.  It
won't tell you if it is the wrong word!

I have seen some really funny stuff come across that way.

Not to worry - and I will quit searching to see what musical instruments
ICOM is making now.

Happy 4th of July to all it applies to.  Thank a soldier.
