Title: Icom 718 VFO adjustment question
Post by: K6RQR on March 19, 2023, 06:51:26 PM

Hello All -
 I used to have an Icom 735 and I currently have an Icom 718. With the 735 if the frequency readout was a bit off you were able to tune in WWV at 10 mHz and adjust for a zero beat with a trimmer capacitor on the main board inside. Does the 718 have any such ability? Thanks.

73.

Search for a IC-718 Service Manual.  Many free PDF's out there.
As I recall, my 718 was "maybe" 10hz off. If it's close..I would not
worry about it. (now, if it's 100hz --maybe :) )
