Me thinks it needs to be sent in da geeks at ICOM for servicing if it's 
doing that...  *Hi...Hi*

But what do I know?  I'm just a lowly no-code techie (But when compared 
to the LIDS on 20 meters who shouldn't even HAVE a licence TO BEGIN 
WITH, I'd have to say I'm DAMNED PROUD to be one!).  But that's a whole 
different subject altogether....

Cheers & 73 :)
