Just to note that I obtained an old Icom IC-251A two meter all mode rig that belonged to Harry D. Grace of Sonoma California, SK. I did not know this person, but the condition of his radio that I purchased was excellent. I had the audio chain recapped and the power supply bypassed in favor of an external 12 Volt source (Old Icom power supplies ran very hot). I just wanted to let anyone who knew Harry that I have his radio, and will use and preserve it for the next amateur op that winds up with it after I am awarded my SK. KBOTXC
