[ICOM] New shipment of IC-746Pro's at AES

[Gary P. Fiber]

Gordon,

I can probably count on one hand the times I have used 10 FM discounting 
using it for antenna tuning.
About a million years ago I purchased an add on board for my Icom 730 to 
allow it to do FM from N9DBX as I remember at the Dayton Hamvention in 
about 1984 or so.
I got around to installing the little circuit board and amazing the 
IC-730 also sported FM. I played with that for a couple of years.
Before i sold the rig in about 1990 or so, sold to a guy I knew as Diz 
on the old CompuServe HamNet Icom forum but have forgot his call, I 
removed the board and think I included it with the rig but Diz did not 
want it installed.
I bought that IC-730 new at Dayton in 1982 along with an IC-2AT I still 
have. Dug out my LDG -  Z11Pro tuner, need to look at the batteries I 
installed them in 2007 but it still seems to tune ok I don't want one to 
leak.
Had some Duracells still in the retail carton that leaked, they were the 
9 volt type.

So nobody had to modify their IC-7000 mic for better audio as I got no 
answers that's good.

AES should buy more Icom products its the busiest I have seen the forum 
in a few weeks.
