[ICOM] IC-706 POWER PROBLEM

[Ken, WA2LBI]

Rick,

You haven't advised as to what diagnostic steps you have taken so far so some
additional information will be helpful.

For starters:
* have you verified that the power source is stable and capable of providing the
required voltage and current?
* have you determined that the voltage measured at the back of the power
connecter as it enters the rig is proper and stable?
* have you checked all of the power connections for good crimps (I solder these)
and solder joints?  Check the connections at the power supply, the fuses, and
the connector at the radio.  Wiggle the latter.  Sometimes those Molex pins
need to be (very carefully) squeezed.

Keep us posted!

Ken, WA2LBI
