[ICOM] PW1 and 10 meters

[Ken Kinyon]

Hi,
Well since I started this I thought I would do a little research also.
This is from the ARRL.org site, under news, when the Omnibus report was
released.

""We will, therefore, retain the requirement that amplifiers exhibit no
amplification capability between 26 MHz and 28 MHz and require manufacturers to
certify that amplifiers are not capable of amplification between 26 MHz and 28
MHz and are not easily modifiable to operate between 26 MHz and 28 MHz prior to
the grant of an equipment certification," the FCC said."

So I am guessing the most sure way for the PW-1 to comply was to leave it as is.
I can see why they wouldn't want to mess with it.
I wonder how they will do it with the PW-2. ;<)

By the way I took the easy way out for those with poor vision.  I snipped the
diode out with very small surgical scissors. No finesse involved, but it worked
fine.

What made me wonder about all this is that my HL-1.5KFX came with 10 and 12
meters enabled.

Thanks again,
