This is for Icom IC-R1 owners etc..... I just received my R1 from my Japan mule. Boy is it small! Anyway...the charger is for 100VAC. Since the power company around here likes to sell more electricity (my line voltage is 125VAC) has anyone had problems with using a 100VAC charger on US mains? The thing gets kinda hot. 2nd question. Anybody got schematics for the little beastie? What a cute little toy! -Charlie WB4HVD

Better yet, get the fast charger. You will probably need the bottom adaptor as an interface. Take the R1 with you and they will be able to set you up. /s/ Bob N1BRM p.s. I envy you!
