[INRAD] IC 775 roofing filter caution!

[George Cutsogeorge]

During installation of the IC  775 roofing filter it is possible to 
disconnect a ribbon cable without realizing it at the time.  The result is 
the radio will not transmit.  We are including a caution note in the 
instructions now, but some of these units are already out in the field 
without it.  The text of the note is as follows:



Caution Note for the IC 775 Roofing filter installation



Read this before proceeding with Step 18.



There are two ribbon cables on top of the PA and the TUNER units.  The 
shorter ribbon cable connects the PA unit to the Control unit.  This cable 
has no stress relief and can become disconnected from it's socket inside the 
PA unit when this unit is moved in the following steps.  To prevent this, 
remove the two pieces of tape securing the cable to the top of the TUNER 
unit.  Disconnect the ribbon cable from it's connector on the Control unit.



Proceed with steps 19 to 33, then reconnect the ribbon cable and replace the 
two pieces of tape.



PA1HR has provided this information and has detailed pictures of this 
installation on his web site.
