[Icom] IC-706mkII problem---RESOLVED!

[Tony Hwang]

Hi,
Looks like poorly made fuses are around these days.
I read a post on AGA(alt.guitar.amp), where tube amp power tranny
smoked.
Then fuse in the amp did not blow, it tripped main breaker on the power
panel causing outage for the whole house.
The fuse was correct one but just it did not do it's job.
I only use genuine brand fuse, nothing like ones from RS for this
reason.
