[ICOM] PRO III

[William J. Wickstrom]

Well, I'm a Navy/Marine Corps MARS operator, and nobody has informed me that
I can't use my 'Pro II on the MARS nets...

If they do, they will lose ME---I won't lose the rig!

Bob;

A lot of the rigs most likely were used in CAP/MARS service. A recent change
in specifications by NTIA removed almost all ham rigs from use by those
groups. About the only rig still valid is the Yeasu FT-817/ND. Then only
because they are 5 watt rigs.
