[ICOM] Icom 765 questions

[John Geiger]

I have 2 questions about the Icom 765 that I haven't found an answer to yet:

1 Does it have the plastic trimmer caps problems that the earlier Icom rigs
suffered from?  I think I heard no, but am not sure.

2. QST mentions that when you use the IF shift, it takes the narrow CW
filters out of line. Does this problem still occur if you mod the 765 for
PBT instead of IF shift?  Is there another mod to keep this from happening?
