[ICOM] Separates

[Adam Farson]

Hi Bob,

Yes, that would be simplest. If you can get the 920 for a good price,
repairs should not be prohibitive.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Your right it would but both radios have a draw back one compared to the
other. My friend has a FT-920 which receives wonderfully on all bands
including 6 mtr, but has low to no output power.

My Icom 728 is working as designed but of course doesn't receive as well as
the FT-920.

So my thoughts were since my friend would be willing to sell me the 920 at a
reduced price, I would make separates out of them and use the IC-728 as the
Xmit and the 920 as the RCVR.

Guess I just need to get the 920 and pay to have it fixed
:0)

 73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code there in the first place is out
front of it all.
