[Icom] Ic-756ProII Problems

Sat, 11 Jan 2003 14:21:04 -0700

Hi,
Micro-processor or computer controlled devices are known to do thing 
ghostly no one can explain.
Like robots in manufacturing plants going crazy kiliing people(in 
Japanese car plants, few hundred
workers get injured including some death because robots go out of 
control; swinging out arms to knock
down wokrer working nearby, etc.), sometime in Oregon, water treatment 
plant discharged raw sewage
for no reason, etc., etc. In my working days I ran into unexplainable 
things some times. You heard runaway
cars(the old Audi story for one).
Welcome to the wonderful world of digital everything. If I were you, I'd 
just reset the whole radio and forget
about it.If it happens once in a blue moon,  no one can help it.

Tony, VE6CGX
