Subject: [ICOM] IC-730 Question



I just received a  used IC-730 that I purchased with  a known problem. The 
problem has to do with CW. When going into CW the power output is very low 
and the meter appears to oscillate. The output signal sounds awful albeit 
low. It sounds like it is oscillating too. I have tried some adjusting of 
R149, 150 and 151. This increased the power to about 40 watts but the radio 
is putting out way too much on SSB. SSB appears to work fine.

I have a manual but no schematics. So I am flying blind. A former ICOM 
service person who has a radio repair business is about 35 miles from 
here --but I can't get it into his shop until Monday. Anyone have any 
suggestion that I can try this weekend?
