I have recently aquired an icom ic730 and am finding it very difficult to obtain information on how to get it to cover 11m.
It is, as you may or not be aware, not a general coverage receive rig and the mod is not as simple as cutting a wire to "open up" the transmit capability and as I do not have a service manual or schematic, I have no idea where to start.
Any help on this subject would be a blessing.
Cheers, Daz.

Here is your solution....IC-730
If it is for an ICOM IC-730 here is the procedure for EXPANDED RF.
1 Remove power and antenna
2 Remove screws and open case
3 Locate the RF board
4 CUT GREEN WIRE (Labeled 'D' )
5 CUT RESISTOR R-48
6 RESET THE MICROPROCESSOR
7 Reassemble the radio
This came from a tech book I have and I typed it word for word so that should do it for you,good luck and I can't promise anything as to the outcome.

thankyou.
Your information on this topic is much appreciated as it has stopped a person possibly ripping me off with the radio.
i only have three final questions if u can help; is R48 on the rf board, exactly where is the micro processor and how do you reset it?
I am sorry to ask so much but i dont have a service manual for the rig.
