This mod has nothing to do with what the radio will TX and RX on. Its a mod for the fan, the fan wll be running while the radio in in RX. The guy has put this in the heading. Thx for the video...
Just asking ???? I have done the MOD to expand the radio, by taking out the diode, but I would like to know what the other diode is for ???? Is it to BLOCK the TX on 88MHz to 108MHz Bye from John 73's
does this mode run the fan only when on? I dont want to run the fan when the radio is off. Somewhere there is a mod that runs the fan in a slower speed when you turn it on and higher speed when you transmit.
is this issue excists to first models ,mine have serial number 107..... ,i don;t get it to my hands yest just bought it from a store used as new condition and read about this problems
The cost of replacing a worn out fan is much cheaper than replacing the components that are commonly damaged by heat in this radio. Even with this modification the fan will last for years, I did my mod 12 years ago and my fan is still ok.
Do you know if a 706 first model, is meant to have the fan running in RX mode. Mine does. I wondered if someone has modified it already or if it was meant to be like this.
The fan on my 706MK2G runs occasionally when in RX too. I don't mind TX but in RX iI don't like listening to it. I might use the remote cable and place the 706 further away.
Do you make modifications without knowing why? I think you did open your transiver for out of band Tx, but you do NOT be able to transmit on 70-120Mhz, connect a frequency counter and Tx there and you se that the radio dosent. Tnx sq7bce for the clip.
That was the worse soldering job I have ever seen. If you do this like his example you will likely have the resistor fall of the cold solder glob and short out something causing damage to the radio. His first cold solder glob nearly shorted out his red fan wire (Positive) to ground. Apparently no one ever taught him how to make a strong physical connection before soldering. You should keep the leads of the resistor short, bend them in a loop/hook, tin and solder them to a wire, then prep and tin a hook wire where you need to make contact.
concordo in pieno è stato un lavoro eseguito con i piedi , oltretutto il 706 in generale in particolare MKIIG /7000 non sono radio da tenere a manetta per molto tempo soprattutto in HF .....il segreto per non farla riscaldare durante un QSO consiste nel farla trasmettere con potenza bassa mediante l'ausilio dell'amplificatore tipo hla150/300 RM ITALY ....personalmente la utilizzo da oltre 15anni ho posseduto tutte le versione 703-706-706MKII-MKIIG + IC7000 DUE VOLTE sempre ed esclusivamente con l'amplificatore anzi prima accendo AMP e poi la radio mai un problema tanto che ritengo questa modifica praticamente inutile semplicemente pke' sono radio (mobili) datate giusto il tempo di fare.... '59 non certo un lungo QSO da salotto con i suoi 100w dopo poco la devi spegnere altrimenti la butti .

simple, cheap fix for the heating problem...worked perfectly!
Dzięki Marcin, przydało się na gorącą 706.

Extremely simple and really effective. TNX!

What's the song in the background?
Hi! Have done exactly this mod on my IC706MK2G, works great now, always low temperature even in long transmissions !!
Best 73 from SM6AAL
I done mine today, makes a huge difference
Good morning! Shortens the fan's life?
