[Icom] 775 question

Sun, 2 May 2004 10:10:06 -0500

Hi Dick-

Don't know who W8JI is but I would not take one amateur "review" as
definitive.  I've never heard of anyone having a 775 problem when operated
properly with an amp. The only 775 "problem" I recall was a guy named
Bernstein claimed that if you operated CW with a very tight split at 1500
watts, a neighbor ham a few blocks away could hear a "spur". I never had any
such problem. Maybe try Google?

| The power spike was discussed by W8JI on one of the reviews on eham on the
| 775. It was an earlier unit. He also discussed VFO bleedthru which I too
| experienced on an earlier 775 serial 19-- owned several years ago.
| I recently found a late serial 27-- 775 and before I use it with the
AL1500
| wanted to be sure the spike problem was corrected.
| I do turn the rf power back to about 30 watts but would hate to blow an
| expensive tube with over 200 watts momentarily hitting the tube.
