[Moon] Re: [Moon-net] IC-7000

[Jean-marc BORD]

Dear Gary,

We were (j79di.blogspot.com) using IC7000 during our Dxpedition.
The pros are :
   - lightweight
   - easy to interface the audio path
   - no frequency drift
   - ability to handle high Temp & high humidity environnement
   - up to 100w 144 output which can cope with a large amount of PA/SSPA 
input without an extra power booster
   - easy to PTT remote control

The cons are :
   - no easy way to split Tx/Rx, you need an external coax switch
   - need some sort of carrying case as the front panel buttons are 
'fragile'

If you need more infos, you're welcome.

By the way, J79DI and remaining 6V7A QSLs should be sent this month, 
sorry for the delay.

Kind regards
Jean-marc

P.S.
Please reply direct , which countries in the caraibians would call your 
vote for an EME Expe in 2007 ?.
