- Subject: Need help with Icom 230
- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Greetings!
-
- I've inherited my dad's Icom 230 (bought in 1974), and would like to continue
- using it. The radio appears to receive just fine, and the crystal-controlled
- tuner has to be TLC'd, but the output section has died. I've already run the
- radio through a cost estimate with Icom, and they said $200-300. To be
- honest, I'm hoping to come in a little under that (as I can buy a 229H new
- for around $325 or so).
-
- A friend at work here believe the power amplifier module (PA U-49 on the
- schematic) is most likely at fault. I'm looking for such a beast, and would
- like to put out a general call for this and other spare parts. Does anyone
- have any leads?
-
- Any help will be much appreciated!

- To: ham-equip@ucsd.edu
-
- Does anyone have any help/advice on converting the audio output from my
- shortwave reciever to the serial input of my PC compatible?
-
- I have an Amstrad 2386 computer running DOS 6 and Windows 3.1
-
- "money to tight to mention" at the moment so I'm limited to around $20 !
-
- I am not able to read this newsgroup because I'm posting via a gateway and
- therefore would vastly prefer email responses. Our technical bofins tell me

- I'm submitting the following post for a friend:
-
- Does anyone know what the modifications to a FT530 are to
- allow for extended receive from 118-512 and 800-950?
