[Icom] Follow-up: IC-756 generates carrier internally

Mon, 06 Jan 2003 21:09:37 -0600

A "software glitch" is not unknown on the old 756. 
My 756 had a glitch one time, the next time I powered it up, the glitch was gone. All part of the "self-healing" when the old "bad data" was dumped when the unit was powered down. 
When the unit was again powered up, the operating program is again loaded into RAM, and all the data is new, and "clean".  
It's one possible explanation. I'm sure there could be many others.
