-====== IC-706 ======
-{{:blog:img_20230525_121625_787.jpg?400|}}
-I have acquired an old "Mark 1" Icom IC-706 - ex GM0CXQ (SK)
-It required some TLC to bring it back to useful life
-  * Cleaning - inside and out....
-  * Power cable (temporary bodge, new cable on order via eBay)
-  * Microphone (another temporary bodge pending a new eBay microphone)
-  * Intermittent Receive loss on 6m traced to LPF switching relays - cleaned contacts, fingers crossed it's a long term solution
-  * MARS Mod to open up transmit to include 60m

-==== Plans for the little radio ====
-I have connected it to my 10m vertical dipole and intend to use it for 10m mainly. It will be limited to 20W (in line with my new **20W max power** policy) which has the benefit that I can use my LDG "Z-817H" auto-atu to match the 10m vertical on 12m, 15m and 17m.
-I might also install a 6m vertical //T2LT// style dipole and see what activity I can find during the summer Sporadic E season, and then the autumn/winter F2 season, on 6m - a new band for me.
