[ICOM] FREE FREE FREE, Classis Icom Parts (I think!)

[Gareth Gammon]

I didn't mean to start a big OT discussion. I am glad, though that Ken can 
use the surplus Icom stuff. Sorry to hear that others have had the same 
experience but I don't  intend to pursue it. I got rid of the PS 701 as well 
so there's no point.

Do I dare say it before Dick does?

This topic is closed.

 (Sorry Dick, I couldn't resist)

73 to all
