[Icom] Ic-756ProII Problems

Sun, 12 Jan 2003 14:24:33 -0600

Jim, I think you are right! When I unplugged everything and replugged the
cables I still had the problem. So I unplugged everything again and was
getting the radio for return to ICOM. Later in the day I thought I would
give it one more try and behold with just the antenna and power plug
connected, the radio worked fine. Of course I had earlier reset the CPU in
the radio. So I started fresh.

I then began connecting all the cables back and the radio continues to
operate with no difficulties. So the possibilities are that the power supply
and cpu memory needed to be erased to a point. In any case, all seems well
now. I hope for good.

Roland
