Hi Roy Witt, hope you are having a nice day
8<snip>8
RW>storage space in the garage. I know I've got an Icom IC45a (UHF) out
RW>there and may have an IC47a (UHF) and an IC27a (VHF) too. I know for sure
RW>the IC45a needs some attention, as it doesn't have a display anymore. The
RW>IC47a worked great and was in excellant condition when I put it away.
RW>Also, there's an IC2a walkie talkie out there that works intermitantly.
Maybe you can offer a suggestion as to what's up w/ the IC47a
I've got. I picked it up at a 'fest sometime back w/ the owner
and service manuals and don't see anything and if not for it
having the speech synthesizer installed I'd never known.
For ex. I manually tune VFO A to 444.460 and VFO B to the same freq.
When I hit the speech button VFO A comes out as 444.468 and B as
444.460. Tune them to 444.4650 and A is 444.463 and B 444.465.
I can't tell what might've been changed and if it's a programming
trick I'd rather not clear it out until I know how to do it myself.
Fwiw, the rigs here are a Hallicrafters SX-99 w/ the original
metal hallicrafters marke tubes and a R-46B speaker, a Hammarlund
HQ-170 w/ the timer/clock. Modern rigs are a HTX-202 (2m), TH-25AT (2m),
yaesu FT-212RH (2m mobile), the IC-47A, and a RCI-2950 (10m mobile)
Can't find a lick of info abt the 212 for some reason other than
the mars/cap and a full unlock mod. <sigh> :/
