The FET can be blown easily on this radio (by static for example). Its a
known vulnerability with the 2010.

There's a user group on Yahoo (search in their groups for ICF2010). You can
join this and download info about the FET part number etc.

Hope this helps,
Mark.

Is there a place on the web that shows you how to do these mods. Are
they easy?

Why do the diode mod. What has to happen to overload the fet, and how
can you tell if it already has happened? I don't think mine are
overloaded, but I would like to check.

What does making the agc switchable get you?

What do the filter changes do? Can you tell me audibly what the
difference heard would be?

TIA,

Viper

Do some easy mods to just improve performance.
I changed the IF-filters to MuRata CFK and CFJ types.
I made the AGC switchable to very fast and very slow.
I added 2+2 diodes to prevent overloading the 1st stage FET.
