Frank,
I have also sent my 765 back to factory without the original box. To =
play safe I spent the extra money and used a mailing service like POST =
OFFICE to do the packaging. They double box it to handle short falls =
that are common during shipping If my memory serves me correctly the =
radio weights in at just under 50 Lbs. Not a simple task to ship.

  As many of you know,  the TTL output from IC-765 stopped functioning =
some time ago.  (Yes, I tried a different CT-17 interface)  Icom does =
not have a service center in or near NYC, so I need to send it back to =
the factory.

  The radio is nearly ten years old, so I no longer have the original =
box and shipping material.  Has anyone packed an IC-765 for shipping and =
gotten it back intact without the original box?  How did you pack it?  =
I'm especially interested in how you protected the front panel.

  Thanks and 73,
  Frank
