[ICOM] FL52A problem-additional details

[N5IET Bob]

Well it could be too much heat was applied when it was
removed, I don't know if you removed it or not if you did
this is probably not it. But, from what I have read there
is a problem with the pins fitting sometimes and other
times not.

Meaning from what I have ascertained there is not good
consistency in production on the Icom originals.

  This is where INRAD has *excelled*
(not to mention better performance:0)

 73 fer nw,

Code may be taking a back seat for now,
but the pioneering spirit that put the code
there in the first place is out front of it all.
