[Icom] Loose handheld antenna connector.

Mon, 4 Nov 2002 04:05:06 -0000

Today while hiking in the Franklin Mountains, I discovered
that my ICOM IC-W32A had a loose antenna connector.
The area I was in had no cell phone coverage, so radio was
important on this hike.  I did a quick repair on the trail,
and now at home I am looking at a better solution.

My best thought, take the nut off, drop in a bit of LOCKTITE
242 (can be removed with common tools, no heat. (BLUE))
and tighten it down good.

Any other suggestions or better ideas before I proceed?
I won't need the radio till next Saturday for another hike.

Thanks Y-all.

Mike.
