[ICOM] IC 706 MK II G

[Jim Vohland]

Recently my MK II G has exhibited an intermittent (is there any other kind) problem where I lose my power output on two meters and two meters only. Here's what I can offer:



Like I said, the problem in intermittent and normally happens after about 30 minutes of operation. At first I was thinking heat issue but I did add an additional fan so don't think its the problem. Also it only effects 2M.  I put the meter on "PO" so I can watch and track the power out. All will be fine and then I will lose the power out. Red transmit lite is on so rig is in transmit, just no power out. I also switched microphones and no change. Same with antenna/feedline. I used a spare mag mount antenna and still same issue. I also opened the rig and checked all the circuit board screws to ensure good contact.



I would have thought finals, but the problem will exhibit itself for a few minutes and then all will be well for a while.



Scratchin my head, hoping someone has ideas??????
