[ICOM] IC-745 & IC-EX242 FM board

[Reid Bishop]

Gary,

I'm certain all cables were plugged in properly, with no bent pins.  I do
know that I needed to refer to the IC-745 owners manual for installation
instructions, as the instructions provided with the IC-EX242 were not quite
correct and seemed to be oriented towards the IC-740.  It would be hard to
mess up this install- I guess I can check one more time.  It would be nice
to find somebody local with an IC-745 that we could try this board in.

Thanks for the input!

There are some 7 cables that need to be moved and plugged in when 
installing the FM unit. You sure you had them all according to the owners 
manual ?
If so and no bent pins, cables not fully plugged in etc. I don't know off 
hand what the trouble would be. Sure sounds like a simple cable trouble 
though to me.
I am sure i crossed this trouble but it has been to many years ago now.

I recently plugged a never-used IC-EX242 FM board into my IC-745.  Seems to
