A brain transplant for the ICOM IC-245

The IC-245 is an all-mode 2m transceiver. This video shows how [IMSAI GUY] replaces the microprocessor board in his transceiver with an Arduino Nano-based board to get a little more functionality. There’s also a second video that shows the initial trial of the board.
