[Icom] IC-706mkII Problem

Sun, 14 Jul 2002 17:57:23 -0400

Mine always did the same thing when connected to power, it always had that
relay, that's unrelated, it should always do that,  as for your problem,  I
with I could help, did it maybe get too hot? maybe if you wait a while and
let it cool gdown it might work?  just an idea I'm not an expert by a long
shot.

(no

fine).
> Just the same relay clicking.
