[ICOM] ICOM 2800H

[Gary Nichols]

Jerry, I had that problem when I tried using Win95 on my packet computer and
was afraid of burning the house down as the rig got too hot to touch .  Went
back to Win 3.21 and the problem went away...btw I was using Baycom
packet...de gary, kd9sv

Anybody have any experience with a 2800 kicking itself into transmit with no
human intervention?

Kind of embarassing to come home and find the local fox hunters waiting for
you because your rig has been blocking the local repeater for the last
couple of hours.

The owner of this rig has tried it without the mike attached to eliminate
that possibility, just leaving the rig on and connected to the antenna but
with a 2 amp fuse in the line instead of the 10 amp. After a period of time
with the rig just on receive, he found the fuse blown, so we think we can
eliminate a mike causing this. (When it went into transmit, that blew the
lite duty fuse and prevented repeaters timing out all over the county. )

Any ideas or even guesses would be appricated.

Tnx
