Hello All,
I have a couple of 7ks. ?A newer one works perfectly, as far as I can tell. ?An older one has low output and the driver board is suspect. ?I intend to replace the driver board - new parts and board are on the way.?
My question: ?following the board installation, are the adjustments (as recommended by Icom) necessary or optional? ?A Service Bulletin of Feb/2010 outlines a multi step adjustment procedure requiring equipment I don’t have - that’s the reason for this question. ?
I want to replace the board myself, I’m capable of doing that. ?But the adjustments I cannot do without purchasing equipment at expense. ?
So, ?if the adjustments are necessary, then I might just as well replace the board and send it to Icom to do the adjustments… may be cheaper than buying new equipment.
Any thoughts or advice from this group?
Thank you for getting this far ….
Dan. VE7CTN
