Duane,

I purchased my IC-775DSP (serial number 1304) brand new from AES back in
the mid 90's. Other than an initial problem with an internal antenna
connector not hooked up, it has been a great rig. About two years ago I
had it sent back for battery replacement (it wasn't dead yet, but I was
pre-empting it!), tuning shaft tightening, and a general "tune up". Have
had a lot of rigs (mostly Kenwoods) and I must say this rig has been the
best. It isn't small, but for someone with aging eyes and klutzy
fingers, it's excellent!

Sounds like your friend got a dud. The service people in WA are pretty
good, maybe he hasn't complained loud e'nuff...

"... Is this typical for the model 775 or has he got one that he needs
to spray paint a bright lemon yellow? Any common known issues in models
below SN 2000?"
