[ICOM] IC-91A Handheld

[Jim M.]

Well things are getting weirder and weirder.  Holding the face of the 
handheld to a metal plate, tin foil, or another skin surface doesn't result 
in any LCD failure.  Only when I hold it against my face (mostly left cheek) 
will the display go out on transmit.  I do have gold fillings in my upper 
teeth.  Any theories?  This is no joke.  The manual does say to hold it in 
front of and away from your face, for safety from RF....
