[Icom] ICOM IC-245

Al, 

All mine needed was an ARR preamp and now a great receiver.  The front
end in those receivers was not too good.  I've had mine since 1980.

Subject: [Icom] ICOM IC-245 

The other day I was looking thru a 1977 QST and found a ICOM IC-245 that
was 
advertised for around $400, big money back then and even now. I have an
old 
IC-245 thats seems to need a tune-up. Well,  you know, it needs some 
attention. Anyone know the expert who fixes old radios like my 245 ? I
used 
it for the local DX Packet Cluster for 13 years, nite and day. Never
missed a 
beat until a couple months ago. Before that it was used for DX type
rag-chew 
when we used to announce spots on 2 meters using voice. That must have
been 
rhe so called good old days, HI ! 

thanks.
