[ICOM] Separates

[N5IET Bob]

I was for many years and still am an electronics
engineering technologist so I know how to do the work
(some of it gov certified).

I have just never seen the inside of one of these but have
*heard* from others that it is "all" surface mount stuff -
if you have seen it and worked on it - I will take your
word for it and look into it.

I appreciate you telling me all of this, I know the
quality of my work has always been seen as very good by
all those who I did work for - so I am confident I could
to do given the proper tools of the trade, my only concern
was "can I" LOL.

Can the service manual be gotten for one of these in pdf
form or do you have to buy one?

 73 fer nw,
Bob N5IET

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.
