I obtained a TAD M5 4525 commercial 450 rig which I would like to retune
to the 440 Mhz band. Any info or manuals out there to give me a clue?
Thanks.

Subject: Need help with Icom 230
To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
Greetings!
I've inherited my dad's Icom 230 (bought in 1974), and would like to continue
using it. The radio appears to receive just fine, and the crystal-controlled
tuner has to be TLC'd, but the output section has died. I've already run the
radio through a cost estimate with Icom, and they said $200-300. To be
honest, I'm hoping to come in a little under that (as I can buy a 229H new
for around $325 or so).
A friend at work here believe the power amplifier module (PA U-49 on the
schematic) is most likely at fault. I'm looking for such a beast, and would
like to put out a general call for this and other spare parts. Does anyone
have any leads?
Any help will be much appreciated!

Derrick

Does anyone have any help/advice on converting the audio output from my
shortwave reciever to the serial input of my PC compatible?
I have an Amstrad 2386 computer running DOS 6 and Windows 3.1
"money to tight to mention" at the moment so I'm limited to around $20 !
I am not able to read this newsgroup because I'm posting via a gateway and
therefore would vastly prefer email responses. Our technical bofins tell me
that the following address should work:

I'm submitting the following post for a friend:
Does anyone know what the modifications to a FT530 are to
allow for extended receive from 118-512 and 800-950?
