[ICOM] Garbled receive on lower bands

[Mike Olbrisch]

PLL trimmer caps.  Replace them with quality units from ICOM.  Common
problem.

If you don't feel like doing it yourself - use Scott Malcolm.  E-mail him
for info.

I have an IC-751 and IC-751A and they both exhibit this malady.  SSB on 40
and 80 sounds garbled, CW sounds almost "hissy".  20 meters and up seem ok.

I have used the "A" for years without incident.  Then the problem occurred
only at turn-on and for awhile thereafter in the beginning, and now is
constantly there.  The non "A" is a rig I acquired with the issue in place.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, & 73,
