Thanks for the info. I've downloaded the info from mods.dk & now have to 
decide how adventurous I want to be!

> Ted, I once owned an Icom 745, and considered putting in the mod for AM operation, but I found it to be a bit more complex than I wanted. I instead installed the battery back up operating system memory board, for in the original radio if the battery went bad you had to send the board or radio back to Icom for re-installation of the operating system. The radio was inoperable until this happened.
> ?? I am sure a diligent search on the internet should turn up the AM mod. I no longer have it, as that was over 12 years ago.
> Good luck.
