de DG8FZ @ DB0EAM How to make the VOX of an IC-271,471,1271 usable for FM : 1'st type of 'main-board' : The only thing to be done is to add a diode such as 1n4148 or bax13 on the MAIN board on the position D74 When D74 is inserted ... the vox works in FM also. The diode is on the shematic diagram of the Main board but is not mounted on the pcb in the factory. 73's de stefaan ON4BY @ ON4HU 16/03/1990 18.31 h 2'nd type : (On this board a D74 is present (near PA- and RF-YGR- Unit)) (It might be not present in the plans !) Disconnect the cathode of D69 from it's old postition. It's new position is the cathode of D50 or D51 name ! position on main board ! (old) function ! D69 ! near 'CW-DELAY'. ! 'FM -VOX-OFF' ! FM 8V D50 ! near 'RF-YGR-Unit' ! 'USB-VOX-ON' ! USB8V D51 ! near 'RF-YGR-Unit' ! 'LSB-VOX-ON' ! LSB8V 73's de karl DG8FZ @ DB0SAO 20/03/1990 16.52 h
