[ICOM] 781 TR/REG Problem

[Tom Norris]

That's one of the easier sections to repair, though.  I've done a  
total of one for a friend several years ago.  The 781 has serious heat  
issues and Icom - or a third party - offered a mod to take care of that.

Note to Larry - you didn't sound crass, there are more appliance ops
on the list than technical folks it seems sometimes -- unfortunately   
this seems to be a trend in ham radio and has for a couple decades as  
the knowledgeable get older.  Luckily I'm only 46 and in decent  
health, and grew up on tubes as a kid - the best of both worlds.   
Whole career has been comms. (with a little PMEL in between)

Best 73 again
