Fellow Sufferers,

The club is fortunate to have received a donated Icom IC-718 HF Set.

I am donating semi-fitted cases to schlep it and the accessories around 
and about.

I am going to replace the round terminal lugs on the power lines with 
Anderson Power Poles.

If the rig is used for POTA, we will need to scare up a battery (maybe 
from Len's Home for Wayward Batteries) and an A.P.P. pigtail.

For Field Day, we will need an appropriate power supply and an 
appropriate A.P.P. pigtail.

The specifications call for 13.8V +/- 15% 2.0 Amps (Full Volume RX) 20 
Amps (100 W TX).

If anyone has a decent power soulply (cue The Temptations) that they are 
inclined to donate, please let me know.

73 DE WA2RT ..
