[ICOM] IC4KL - no 40 volts

[Adrian Flynn]

Hi Jim,
You are what I use to call a "Snowbird" when being polite and many other
things while driving a truck hauling asphalt.

Ever try to stop a semi @ 80,000 gross from 45 - 75mph when a lost snowbird
pulls out directly in front of you and stops to look at a map?

I would keep the "wintering" in AZ quiet.
65 Year Arizona resident now living in MI. so I can breathe.
Direct cause from AZ's VALLEY FEVER!

Enjoy your winter, I will be going to AZ in May for a visit.
