Hello all!
I am assembling a station for MARS use and purchased an ICOM IC-7410 to this end. The stateside dealer stated they no longer performed MARS/CAP mods on radios purchased from them. I have researched the web and found the PDF document on the mods.dk site (in fact that same document turns up in may places). It seems plain enough but I can find no one who has PERSONALLY performed the procedure and can vouch for its accuracy. I have the radio opened up on the bench but really don't want to proceed without a warmer, fuzzier feeling that the referenced PDF doc is "a winner".
I understand there may be an official MARS site or reference document out there that can at least give me a second source for information...do any of you know of such a place/thing?
I pick up the rest of the toys, I mean equipment, at the military post office tomorrow and would like to be fully mission capable ASAP so I can submit my application to the European POC by the end of next week. Any help or direction you can provide will be greatly appreciated!
Most respectfully,
KE6MIY aka MARS operator in the making
