Icom IC-575 (IC 575 IC575) Freq. steps mod

Tuning steps change for all mode Icom IC-275/475/575/1275

The IC-275/475 FM-Step selectmatrix use these diodes on the front unit: (type 1SS53) D41, D42, D43, D44, (D45), D46

Note: diode D45 is not present but solder holes exist for it on the board just between D44 e D46

installed diodes are marked with X :

(*)
To set a step of 12.5 KHz in FM mode (TS button off) it is not necessary disconnect the diode D44, just insert the diode D45 (IN4148 or similar) near D44 and "voil? les jeux sont faits".
Unscrew the two lateral screws and unlock the front panel.
Remove also all the connectors of the front board and after that unscrew ALL the screws of the metallic shield covering the front board. It seems too much complicated insert the diodes from the component side of the front board, so it is better insert D45 from the solder side.
