Re: [amsat-bb] Anyone using Icom AG-1200 with Yaesu FT-736R?

["Will Rogers" <w4wlr@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

Not sure how Yaesu does this, but the Icom preamps require that the voltage
on the line shuts down when transmitting... had a friend cook a preamp
because his 736 does not shut down the voltage when he transmitted.

Hope this helps!
