[Icom] ICOM IC 245

Mon, 24 Mar 2003 17:25:32 -0800

That is a kewl radio from the mid seventies .. as a dealer back then, I sold
several, had one for a short time .. but no SSB this area then .. so ...
but, the model was very problem prone.  And, if the wrong electronic
component was the culprit, it became a swell parts rig.  Try loosening and
tightening the chassis/board screws, as Dave correctly remembered .. be sure
to take the power plug out first ..
Wish you well .. let us know how you make out,  Bob .. just bet there are
some experts on board this reflector that will be glad to give you a hand!
