[ICOM] Re: IC-245 problems (was IC765 No Transmit)

[D C Macdonald]

I thought that the old bugaboo of the IC-22S
had been fixed by the time the 245 came out!

I still have two of those (IC-22S) that I may get
around to fixing some day.

Come on, retirement!!

Hi Ron,

Scott Malcom at MTS has done a bunch of these. Mostly
the fix is a time-consuming procedure of adding manual
jumpers around each plated-thru hole, and if you have
the patience you can do it yourself.

Good luck!
