RSHAPIRO@BBNA.ARPA (Richard Shapiro) (07/09/85)
A few issues back in the Review of International Broadcasting an article set out a simple and elegant modification to the ICOM R71A which would convert the PBT (actually a variable width filter scheme) into true passband tuning. Does anyone know of a way to do this for the R70? Or does anyone remember seeing any articles on this? Is there any reason to believe that designs of the two radios are such that it should be equally easy to do this? Thanks Richard Shapiro p.s. Thanks to Bob Parnass for pointing out that the R70 does not suffer from the battery-backed RAM problem which afflicts the R71A. -------
