[Icom] IC-2100H design flaw?

Sat, 25 Jan 2003 11:03:44 -0800

Ray:
    I was told by someone on an earlier posting that this problem with
popping noise that is heard on both receive and transmit end while you are
transmitting can be corrected by tightening all of the screws that hold down
the main pc board.  73's from Fern
