[Icom] TS940 VS IC751A

Sat, 4 May 2002 17:09:39 -0700

I have had a an IC 751A for 15 years.  However, half the time it sat in the
attic while I was QRT.  Nonetheless, when I unpacked it recently and plugged
it in, it played perfectly even though the heat in the attic was extreme
over the years and might have damaged something.

Since I was wondering how it had performed for others over the years, I
recently queried one of the HRO stores here in CA about what problems they
had heard about it.  The reply stated that only a very few were returned for
service reasons.  And that when there was a problem, it often was to replace
a capacitor in the audio amplifier.  So, I intend to keep mine as it works
fine for me.

If you want more info, the IC 751A was reviewed in the January 1985 QST, pg
34.

I have no experience with the TS 940 so cannot comment on it.
