For HF and 50 MHz frequencies, the IC-705 utilizes an RF direct sampling system. The signal passes through the antenna switching circuit and a bank of band-pass filters (BPF) before entering a high-speed Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). For VHF (144 MHz) and UHF (430 MHz) bands, a down-conversion mixer drops the signal down to an intermediate frequency (IF) before digitization. The digitized data is then processed by a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The Transmitter Chain
Highly professional and clear; described as "one of the best seen in a long time".

Take photos at every step of disassembly. The IC-705 uses several internal shielding covers and grounding springs that must be replaced exactly as they were.
