[ICOM] RE: Which radio to buy

[BSugarberg]

Hello,


Re: 6 Meter problem with the Pro II:

 From the eHam Reviews:
----------------------
"I'm on my 3rd Pro II. The first two had display failures... lines in the 
display, and now my third one that's about a year old had a spurious 
transmit problem on 6 meters."

"It didn't matter if the rig was transmitting into a resonant antenna or 
coxial dummy load. In either SSB position keying the rig at any power level 
setting would result in both the power and ALC meters pinning... the signal 
being generated wasn't on 6 meters!"

"I emailed ICOM Bellevue and they replied that they had no clue and to send 
the rig in for service. In scanning the net I found the mod, explanation and 
cure at www.mods.dk. My sincere thank to Kay, DF1AS for posting this 12-27-03."

"In further cruising the net I found quite a few Pro II's with this 
problem... and ICOM knows nothing?!"

"Be careful out there."

"Gerd, W2ISB"
