Re: [amsat-bb] Icom 970 question

Hi Bill:

I have an IC-970H with the 1.2 GHz. module installed.  I have used it for more
than three years without any problems.  The 1.2 GHz. modules are extremely
rare.  If you can pick one up, it will greatly increase the value of the
IC-970.

73,

  I have a 970A unit that I never upgraded over the years.  I have been
  offered a 1.2 GHz unit for this unit.  There have been some references over
  the years about the 1.2 unit being of bad design and not standing up to
  normal operating conditions.

  Has anyone had any good or bad experiences they would like to share about
  the add in unit for 1.2 GHz.
