From: IW3BKW@OE7XCI.#TIR.AUT.EU ICOM IC-737 ----------- GENERAL COVERANGE IN TRANSMISSION. 1) Remove the top and bottom covers of the transceiver. 2) Remove the final power amplifier module. 3) Locate the LOGIC-UNIT on witch there is a back-up lithium battery for the RAM memory. 4) On the LOGIC-UNIT, near the chip called IC6 (TMP82C265BF-2),between the output pin PC06 and the imput pin PA15, find the diode D3. 5) This diode is not an SMD component. 6) Cut the diode D3. ..Now the ICOM IC-737 will transmit from 1,6 to 30 Mhz !!!. 73's de IW3BKW Riccardo @OE7XCI. *** *** END OF MSG # 1300 from IW3BKW @ OE7XCI.#TIR.AUT.EU ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 13 Mar 1994 23:29:37 GMT From: ihnp4.ucsd.edu!munnari.oz.au!newshost.anu.edu.au!sserve!usage!metro!ipso!rwc@network.ucsd.edu Subject: IPS Daily Report 13 03 94 To: info-hams@ucsd.edu IPS RADIO AND SPACE SERVICES AUSTRALIA Daily Solar And Geophysical Report Issued at 2330 UT 13 March 1994 Summary for 13 March and Forecast up to 16 March No warning is current. ----------------------------------------------------------- 1A.
