Icom IC-R1: The ultimate review, modification & restoration guide. From Jason Reilly Icom’s IC-R1: 0.1 to 1300 MHz in your pocket.

Installing the new filter is going to be fiddly too, since there are other PCBs sitting vertically around it on the top side of the main board. Fi

Fitting the new filter and soldering it in place is a little tricky – cut the new filter legs to the same length as the filter you just removed, and
