Hi.

it will only work if Icom is receiving the same digital scheme that they 
are sending--otherwise, it will be just a lot of noise.  Theoretically, you 
could stick a DTV converter in front of your receiver, but why would you 
want to?  Isn't that what the TV set is for?

It also isn't a very portable solution, and portability seems to have 
gotten lost in this digital headlong rush over the cliff into the abyss.
