Icom ‘Finally’ Finished the repair to the IC-756 Pro 2

I know that I really should be complaining, but I suppose it is not their fault, it seems that Icom Japan will only send spare parts to the UK once a month, and because this radio had two faults it took a little longer than it should have to sort this out, just a smidge under 4 months.

The problems with the radio that were that their was no audio from the speaker, it turned out that three seperate components had caused this problem, a coil (HF50ACC 322513-T, part number W354), a ceramic resonator (CSTCV26 00MXJ040, part number X3551) and finally an IC (TC7WU04F U TE12L, part number IC3552). All in total came to £119:05.

I will be glad to get the radio back and installed at Harry’s in Castletown.
