#Eham review ic 756 pro ii serial#
However, if you look at the serial port circuitry, there appears to be no isolation between the dual transistor and the port connection. I'm guessing the poor China quality probably "bit me" in the end, so to speak. It forces the use of ICOM's multi connection serial interface which most people won't bother with and instead, they, we, I tried using a USB port adapter cable. Just a side note about the problem I had - the remote data port seems to be a "weak link" with ICOM legacy products. Fast repair, fast turnaround, more than reasonable repair cost and he treated me respectfully even though I was the one that blew-up the thing! LOL. I highly recommend Mike and would not hesitate to use him again if I had needed another repair on a radio he services.Īwesome! Fixed My IC-718 Remote Rig Control (CI-V) FailureĮxcellent experience! I explained the issue I was having with my remote connection and he nailed it! He replaced the part that, I'm positive I somehow blew-up, and it's fixed! I followed his instructions and everything went as planned. He also has several articles there which he's written on some of the more common maladies for these rigs. Check his website to see if your rig is included in what he repairs. Mike specializes in a group of Icom radios that are very popular and sold millions of units. I can't say what his back log will be at any given time but I know that some other shops can take several weeks or even months. They spent more time in shipping than they did at Mike's place. He also turned the radios around relatively quickly and each radio was back in less than two weeks from when I shipped it out. His charges were very reasonable and affordable. He happily answered all my emails and questions in a timely fashion and let me know what the progress was along the way. Mike recently repaired a pair of IC-756 Pro-II radios for me.
#Eham review ic 756 pro ii archive#
Maybe he will archive them somewhere some day. I wish that some of his notes and articles on some of the more common rig maladies were still available somewhere. His QRZ.com page has a simple notice that says: "Note: My radio repair business is closed." As W1RC has pointed out, Mike's repair shop is now closed.
