Take a look at the processor unit used in the R-70 and the IC-720(A) - is it the same as the '701?
If so...I know how to make it work.

Fred .... the information i've been able to glean on my searches indicate that the mod for the icom 701 is similar to mods... "that can be performed on the Icom 211 and and the Icom 245 as the use similar systems and pinouts on the ACC socket..." it's not much to go on but KA6BFB claims he was able to do it.... i've yet to dive into this 701 under the cover yet,as I wanted to DL the manual for thing and get an idea of the inner workings before I go into it...... it's a 30 year old radio but it performs quite well ...... i've never owned or really operated an icom radio so i'm not familiar with it........ but for some strange reason curiousity has me attracted to this radio ........ this coming from a Yaesu guy!Originally Posted by N8YX

I dunno. Take a slow glance around the Island. Do you notice that insanity IS the Islands' version of sanity?
Oh shit. What have I done? Carlo is going to be along shortly, and let me know he resembles that remark, then I'll have to stand erected...your right it is insanity.................Never mind.

There is logic in your thinking .....The Island is a force in itself!

Hey, you're talkin' about a guy who just dumped sixty bucks on freakin' toobs for a boat anchor he doesn't really need. If that don't count as insanity, I don't what does.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Sixty bucks spent on "toobs" for a boat anchor is NOT insanity ........ I would spend that for any boat anchor I have and i'm not insane .....at least last time I checked I was'nt ...so nuff said

Dumped sixty....DUMPED SIXTY BUCKS??? I'm insested. (Well I would have been if I had a sister) Dump is what a bear does in the woods. You made an INVESTMENT in the restoration of a highly desirable piece of electronic memorabilia, which only makes it more desirable to the amateur radio community, thus, furthering the interest in radio communications and making for a higher level of understanding and brotherhood amongst others of like interests not only locally, but globally, as well. No way in hell you'd catch me pissin away that kind of money on some glass shells somebody stuffed with some bits of metal and sucked the air out of. Ya crazy Bastid.
