[Boatanchors] SDR unit

[manualman at juno.com]

I've fixed my share of boatanchors over the years. I've also trouble
shooted and fixed my Flex 5000A (fixed a an intermittent relay) and fixed
a transmitter oscillating problem in my IC-756 Pro II. Circuits are
circuits; todays circuit components are a lot smaller and more dense, but
if you have the right tools and can follow circuit schematics and logic,
repair is no different then a 60 year old boatanchor.
