[ICOM] from K3JK

[John Klokis]

thanks for the information Harry, I appreciate it.    And I also have read 
that the screen brightness should be run at full brightness to prevent the 
display from burning out.  Is this correct Harry?   Thanks you sir,  John

  John,

I believe the serial numbers with 7 digits (e.g., 0202855) are assigned
to units that have been upgraded/modified by Icom during the
manufacturing process. Hence, they reflect later production runs
(probably starting about 2 or 3 years ago) than the 4 or 5 digit serial
number (e.g., 3351).  So in theory the IC-151 issue was taken care of by
the factory with your unit.

I am trying to read the posts on serial numbers of my 746 Pro. I have
read that above 3351 are ok. does this mean xxx3351? my serial number
is 0202855. Is this number considered problematic with the transmit
failure? It is below 3351, and from what I can understand, the last four
numbers are what you go by. I might have a problem with the ic-151
issues? thanks, John K3JK
