Has anyone figured out how to extend the TX on this radio? Or maybe a service manual?
I know it's an oldie but should be possible?

Thank you!

I have an old IC-1200 which works in japanese mode from 1260-1300 mhz. I want to extend to european mode. In europe we use 1240-1300 mhz (in UK 1240-1325 mhz)

I know on Kenwood 1200 rigs it's easy to modify just 1 diode and/or the famous green wire...

    Incoming Region Produces X3 Solar Flare

    Another major solar flare, but this time from an active region just beginning to turn into view off the east limb. It is possible that the group responsible is old AR 3654 from the previous rotation. The latest flare, an X2.99 event just peaked at 14:38 UTC (May 15). Stay tuned

    Please advise me to what is a good replacement mic for my SR-497HPC... Answer: 497 is "wired like Cobra", so many choices available. That radio does not need a power mic, so purchase a stock "coffin style" mic with a decent cord, like the ones that Astatic uses. The Superstar DM-507 is my go-to. https://www.ebay.com/itm/3050474478...adANq91JSiEEnz8EGqPJRBloTgEyaVsBoCtoMQAvD_BwE $12.99 + .99 cent shipping.
