Even with the mod, the M700 is far from ideal for digital modes:
Look for a row of small switching diodes (often labeled D1, D2, D3, etc.) arranged in a matrix pattern near the main microprocessor. The Modification:
For high-precision digital modes, some users install an external reference injection board, such as the Leo Bodner board , to override the internal oscillator and lock the radio to a more stable source. Connectivity and Audio Enhancements Digital Mode Interface (Pactor/FT8): The
For a standard IC-M700, a complete frequency expansion project might look like this:
Let's dive into the details.
