[amsat-bb] Re: ICOM -820 repair :-(

[Art McBride]

Al,
I have had problems with my IC 820H not locking not responding to controls
and being intermittent. Problem was traced to several ribbon type cables
that interconnect the various boards and switches to the MPU unit. Careful
removal and cleaning restored all functions and now has been free of trouble
for 2 + years. It has an excellent receiver and very poor control functions.
I have found switching between the main and sub bands using the RIT on
receive and tuning the transmitter on transmit makes it easy to handle the
Doppler on the SSB satellites.

Good luck on getting it back up and working.

Art, KC6UQH
