[Icom] re defective PS-35 switching ps

Wed, 5 Mar 2003 12:42:04 -0000

Usually the caps are a problem.  Electrolytic caps do not like switching
power supplies.  In fact, this very problem caused me to develop a mod for
my IC-2KL when a $2 part took out over $100 worth of main DC supply.

Good luck with it.
