Spoiler Alert

Was happy to be the 'guinea pig' to test the 'VK4GHZ Icom Multi Send' yesterday.
The Icom IC-910H is a fantastic VHF/UHF tcvr, but in the design Icom 'failed' to provide band based PTT switching for external accessories like linear amplifiers, requiring operators to make manual changes when QSYing between bands. And if using the ACC socket for digital modes, then PTT required further changes!

The new kit enables band based PTT activation based on the QRG of the main VFO. Simple mods and construction required. No more manual amplifier changes.

Full details to be released at Gippstech 2013!
