[Icom] Re: IC-706MKII output

Hi all,
Have you done a voltage check on the supply or an swr check on the 
antenna?  If you do not have a voltage meter take the dome light cover off 
your vehicle and note how bright it is.  Then take the bulb in and try it 
with a couple of wires on the power supply.  Visually check the coax and 
antenna and if you can measure the antenna to make sure some component has 
not come loose and lengthened or shortened it.  And then again, it may just 
be a bad meter.
Sorry if this sounds simple to anyone but it will work in a pinch :<}
