Icom "Nana Yonju" ( IC-740 ) Repair The radio model is about forty years old. It is a little older and slightly larger than the more popular IC-735. It sits about in between the IC-730 which is compact sized rig and the IC-735, also a compact rig. The 735 sports an LCD display rather than the fluorescent display of the 740 and 730. What drew me to the IC-740 were the reviews on eham.net and other articles on it in the internet. I remember this particular comment by AB4OJ: " IC-740 - $200 to $250 - WARC bands, no general coverage, has IF Shift and PBT,very quiet frequency generation system" in his article "Good Older Icom Radios." (please google the article title.) I read of a defective radio up for grabs and made my mind up to try and get it. Buying a non-working radio is always a crap shoot but is the sort of thing that interests me most because 1. it usually is cheap and 2. it offers a challenge.
