What exactely is the AGC mod?

@SP2XF

Look there, for the first, on QST december 1995, but many others wrote about AGC modification.

I also have great affection for the IC-765. And I look forward to enjoying one soon. In this lauding and inviting presentation by IK8TEO those lucite-covered paddles he was sending with caught my attention of all things - I'll appreciate some details about them please. thanks

@timelakeripples

Thank you for your positive comment.

The Schurr paddles you see is a portable model customized with my name: it is precise and refined, and is used with plush touch, not vigorously.

I also use a key by Kent, sturdy and comfortable.

Good DXing in CW.

@ki4fsz

Jeff,

no dirty splatters in crowded band.

Look on INRAD WEB site

I appreciate the details about the paddles and I'm tempted to ask more technical details, but let me a set of these paddles first and then I'll be better prepared to correspond with you again. Thank you again for your enlightening video, as well as for polite response to my query. 73

The Icom IC-765 is EXCELLENT in RX and TX. Those who made an A/B Test with the IC-781 said there is no significant Difference with RX Quality (Audio Quality, Sensitivity etc). These are the very best (Ham) Transceivers made ever.

Hi Jeff,

one of the greatest radios ever made. had 2 761's and upgraded to the 765 when the chance presented itself. did all the mods right away. i use a jps-nir 12 dual outboard dsp when i need it, have spent the last 5 years trying every radio out there. keeping this one and looking for another, ki4fsz, jeff, fla , USA.....
