Model: IC-735 Division: Amateur Note: This service bulletin is meant for technical per- sonnel with experience working on solid state com- munications equipment. Damage caused by im- properly installing this modification may cause ICOM to charge for subsequent repairs to the product. ICOM does not warrant this modification. Bulletin #: 28Oct-010 Subject: If the PLL goes out of lock at high temperature Procedure 1. Replace R163 (3.3K) on the PLL board with a 1.5K resistor. Bulletin #: 03088-001 Date: January 30, 1988 Subject: Removal of CPU clock noise on 29 MHz Procedure 1. Remove top and bottom covers from the radio. 2. Remove the PA section from the radio. 3. Remove the connectors from the PL board and remove the board from the radio. 4. Remove C10 from the PL board and replace it with a 15 pf 50V capacitor (ICOM P/N 918-01517). 5. Remove C11 from the PL board and replace it with a 12 pf 50V capacitor (ICOM P/N 918-01515). 6. No adjustment or alignment is required. 7. Reassemble the radio. Bulletin #: 8688-001 Date: March 26, 1988 Subject: If there is CPU clock noise on 29 MHz Procedure 1. Remove the top and bottom cover from the radio. 2. Remove the PA section from the radio. 3. Remove the connectors from the PL board and remove it from the radio. 4. Unsolder the cathode end of D4 and bend the anode lead on D4 so it is sticking straight up from the board. 5. Install L97 (ICOM P/N 924-01948) in the hole where the cathode of D4 was removed. 6. Connect the free end of L97 and the free end of D4 and solder. 7. Reinstall the boards and covers on the radio. Bulletin #: 13100-001 Date: May 10, 1989 Subject: Elimination of chirp in CW mode when operating a wide split Information: This modification was incorporated in all IC-735s after S/N 16801 Procedure 1. Remove the top and bottom covers. 2. Remove the main board. 3. Add a tantalum capacitor 1.5 mf 35V with the positive lead to the collector of Q42 and the minus lead to the emitter of Q42. The ICOM part number for the capacitor is 918-05090. 4. Add a tantalum capacitor 2.2 mf 16V with the positive lead to the base of Q62 and the minus lead to the emitter of Q62. The ICOM part number for the capacitor is 918-01674. NOTE: Spurious emission will result if the capacitors are installed with incorrect polarity. 5. Check the value of R106 on the main board. It should be 22k. 6. Replace the main board in the radio. 7. Remove the PL board from the radio. Replace the components on the following list. Original New ICOM Part Value Value P/N C29 .001mf 50V 470pf ceramic 918-01578 C30 .1mf mylar .022mf mylar 918-01686 R105 220K 47K 915-01183 8. Reassemble the radio.
