[ICOM] Installing a FL52A

[Vladimir V. Sidorov]

Another day I had the same problem with 2 x 250 KHz CW filters for the 756, 
and indeed, there was no info/instruction how to handle with these 
tightening accessories. Obviously the first willingness was to tighten the 
filters firmly, but the idea to uscrew and remove the board of such a 
fragile radio was not really attractive... Finally I have just removed 
everything from the filters and simply pushed them all into their places. 
The tension was pleasantly high and the filters fit their places tightly 
enough.

It was in 1998 or 1999, I believe. For a few yeaqrs I've been using the 
radio very extensively myself, and another user is doing the same up to now 
with no problem, whatsoever. The both filters are in their places just like 
they were born there.
