Ok Eric and all, thanks for your responses. I remember checking
out the Icom at HRO a number of years ago and thinking that it
was a very frustrating piece of equipment. It was the receiver
that had a screen on it so people could see pictures from cameras
mounted on race cars, something I had no interest in. 73, Jim
