[ICOM] IC706MK2g gets hot on xmit and audio distorts

[Jim Miller]

I saw something on this some time back, don't remember where.  The solution
("common problem") was to get a heat sink and stick it to the area at the
back and on top of the radio where the drivers are and it will act as a heat
sink having a great change in the temperature of the radio for long transmit
periods.

That's about all I remember, find a heatsink and stick it on.

I even think I bought a couple but never did install them.  I don't do long
periods on my 706 anyway.

73, Jim
