[Icom] New IC-756Pro Problem

Tue, 26 Mar 2002 20:13:04 -0500

Interesting.  Maybe Mike isn't the only one with this problem.  I had him
double check his power connections. He's using one of my hand-made special
10 gauge 3 foot power cords.  I've had trouble with Icoms before not getting
enough current.  And in one case,  an IC-738, a short fat power cord made a
big difference.

Just talked to Mike (WB2IVN in Steamboat Lake, CO).  Said he had an RS-20,
so current might be a problem.  He asked that I pass along his thanks for
any help from the group.
