Re: Icom IC-9700 users topic

Garry confirming good decodes from you on 144.4905 close to VK5GF in drift. My 432 drift is my problem on my ocxo 910. Good job. The gpsdo from ebay is sufficient, paying any more is buying much the same thing. Next is to extract the nmea word to lock and eliminate the lead to the 9700 clock/gps dst...

Re: Icom IC-9700 users topic

This part is interesting 'A small coupler PC board is soldered to the top of the TCXO can inside the IC-9700'. Any residual solder evidence from this 'mod' will no doubt void the warranty. The first few returns to Icom might slip through as warranty jobs, but I'm sure they will be on the look out f...
