U20217 AS-IS Icom IC-745 HF All Mode Transceiver with Upgrades

This IC-745 is being sold As-Is. The Preamp cuts in & out, and there is not any RF output on CW or SSB.

This specific unit was recently serviced and aligned, and has been heavily upgraded to address the most critical legacy issue on this platform by replacing the volatile factory RAM board with a modern PIEXX ROM module, ensuring permanent memory retention without the risk of battery failure or lost operating code. Loaded with three premier optional filters (250 Hz CW, 500 Hz CW, and FL-30 SSB), this IC-745 offers exceptional selectivity for serious contesting, CW, and DX work.

Overall Condition: Overall good condition. Shows normal signs of age with scuffs on the outer case, but the chassis is sturdy and straight. All buttons, sliders, dials, analog meter, and digital display are in good working order and easily readable.

A classic high-performance desktop rig, the Icom IC-745 is renowned among vintage radio enthusiasts for its smooth receiver front-end and solid RF output. Covering 160 through 10 meters with a general coverage receiver, this transceiver delivers 100W output power across all popular modes.
