interesting that I can not find anything in the IC-910 literature that
specifies how much current the radio can supply  for a pre-amp.  It is also
interesting to note that they do not specify the current drawn by their
pre-amps, or their noise figure.

Hi Gene, WB2LLP

The sensitivity of  the IC-910 in SSB is 0.11 uV for 10 dB S/N and so the
computed Noise Figure is about 4 dB
