These are the instructions to install the IFace interface inside of the Icom IC-746PRO. The installation is very easy.
The IC-746PRO, as well as other radios, has a fairly complex configuration and uses different intermediate frequencies. We are interested in the first, the “wide band” one, the first one of the main band pass filter (the roofing filter so to speak). The one described here is therefore the sequence of operations to be performed to obtain a bandwidth sufficient to make a panoramic receiver around the selected IF frequency. The following images show the point where the IF signal will be taken.
Let’s start by analyzing the wiring diagram. We have to find the first mixer, the PTT and where to take the power supply. From the following images everything will appear clear.
At this point we have to locate the points where we connect the electric cables to the IFace. The following images show where to take the various signals.
Below is shown the card affected by the mods. It will not be difficult to make the required small welds, space is not lacking.
In order to buy one or more IFace please use the following buttons.
ATTENTION: Though installing the IFace is not difficult, you
do this at your own risk. TSP S.r.l. is not responsible for any damage,
unwanted side-effects or whatever.
