    575-m6 help

    I am working on a static 575-M6 with the green board. When I move the tone slider to 0, I don't notice any hint of bass. However, as soon as I start moving the slider up, I notice that the treble becomes stronger. I changed the two 4.7 µF electrolytic capacitors, thinking that they might be...

    ALC yes or no

    Today, I dropped off my two ICOM radios, the 7300 and the 746, to recalibrate the S meter and to fine-tune the receive and power meters. I asked the technician if he could check the ALC on the 7300. He responded that nobody uses ALC anymore. Did I miss something over the last five years, or is...

    icom 7300 average power mod

    Has anyone here performed the capacitor mod using a tantalum capacitor to increase the average power on SSB? The radio typically only operates at 30 to 40 watts. The mod is supposed to increase it. This modification was done by SP3RNZ. I'm trying to hear the pros and cons.
