[ICOM] Mods

[bonddaleena at aol.com]

Hi Harry. I have more Icoms than you can shake a stick at. When I 
encounter a problem, I don't want to attempt, I have used 2 GREAT 
service providers:

Scott, at MTS (Malcolm Tech Services) and

Clif at AVVID

Go to eHam and look at the 'reviews', of equipment service people. Both 
of these guys appear that they can 'walk on water!!". ha ha You can get 
the link to their websites from eHam. BOTH are VERY good about 
answering your questions....

P.S. I don't have a 765 (NICE radio, one of Icom's best). You can check 
out the reviews of that radio at eHam, also.

Anyway, I have a 761. The noise blanker on it is by far the best I have 
encountered in the Icom lineup. The one in my 756PRO is virtually 
useless. Fortunately, I live in a (now, finally!!!), very quiet 
area.... Lots of Icoms of this vintage had problems with faulty caps. 
These guys can replace them and align the radio, for a LOT less than 
you might think....

GA, 
 
I am a new member to this list. My name is Harry <w9hgo> and the 
very proud owner of an IC-765. 
 
I am looking for a service facility that will perform some of the mods 
recommended 
for the 76
5. 
 
Pass band for one and possibly other. 
Being located in the midwest would be preferred for the sake of 
shipping. 
 
I have not seen one, but is there a mod for the noise blanker. Mine 
does not seem to be effective at all. 
 
TNX,
