[ICOM] IC-706 MKIIG

[Julio Peralta]

This was the problem I was having with some cables I bought at a
hamfest. They were not Icom cables. It seems the pins where not the same
diameter and were a loose fit. They caused arcing, intermit operation
and actually melted the Molex plug.

Another item to check carefully is the Molex power connector on both the
DC cable as well as the chassis-mounted power connector.  I have had a
couple rigs fail with the same symptom and it was traced to loose
terminals not "grabbing" each other snugly.
