[ICOM] IC-735 Interface

[Mike]

Jim -

I got one of the Ameritron ones at the Orlando hamfest this weekend. I currently have 
an Array Solutions Rat Pak, which replaced an Ameritron, which got zapped in a 
lightning strike. In my opinion the Ameritron is of vastly greater quality...... YMMV 
of course.

If you're interested in building one, drop Pete N4ZR a note as he's done it.

GL!

Mike
