Look at the schematic, it's a R108722k ohm resistor. To me, it looks like i can put the 4.7k to pin 3 and pin 4 ?? Icom printed boards on the service manual suck, they use a red color for background so you can't see chip lay out
I'm trying to do a mod to my ICOM 746, a small tight spot needs to parallel a 4.7k resistor to R1087. What temp setting would be a starting point to avoid damage
Use of the Heil series of microphones
Most of the Heil series of microphones have too little output to sound good on an IC746 (IMHO) without employing a pre-amp. It's possible to turn the mic gain up, use the speech compressor and shout your head off but that's not ideal. You can even buy a...

I use it on 20 meters a few times with no issue
Looking for advice on an audio recorder or DVR to use with my Icom 746 non-pro I was used to the DVS-2 when I had my Yaesu FT-890, nothing expensive as it's for experimental at the moment, which there was a way to rewire it to use with any radio
