KB2LJJ Radio Mods Database
Expand only mod for the IC-706MkII
Author: David Spicer,VK7ZDJ
HI ALL, as an owner of a IC-706MkII, I have noticed that there is no detailed photos of how to go about the mods on any of the
mod sites, so I pulled my radio out of the car and I have taken some photos of the only mod that I was interested in doing to my
radio,............EXPAND RX /TX.
I hope that the photos will help all new owners and or old ones that have not been game enough to tackle the mod, its quite a
simple mod to do as long as you have good quality desoldering equipment, if not then do not attempt it, take it to someone that has
the gear.
If you follow the text file on this page by "Len SantaMaria, KC2ADV"
headed,.......Icom 706 MkII Extended Transmit Mod and use my photos as a reference then I do not think you can go wrong, my
radio works like magic.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THESE MODS WERE DONE TO AN AUSTRALIAN IC-706MkII RADIO,........AS FAR AS I CAN
TELL THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY RADIO AND THE AMERICAN MODEL, IF ANYONE FINDS THIS
NOT TO BE CORRECT THEN I AM SORRY BECAUSE I CANNOT HELP YOU.
