[ICOM] Need parts.

[Mike Olbrisch]

There are two modules in the repeater.  One drives (IIRC) from 10mw to 1w.  The
second goes 1 watt to 10 watts.

Both are available at RF parts.  Expensive - but available.  The repeater will
be back on the air by next week.

Hiking with a 30 pound repeater on my back will not be fun....  But it will be
back on the air.

Thanks Gary.  We will investigate the module - and perhaps keep it as a spare.
