[Icom] Pro II and using tuner on 6 meters...

Sun, 24 Mar 2002 08:00:50 -0500

Hi All,
I am one of the people on this group that had trouble with the PRO's tuner
on 6 meters. Just got the rig back from Icom last Thursday and they had
to replace two relays in the tuner. The rig now works like new. I will now
follow the info listed below and hope all will be ok.

73, Denis  WB8SKP
