[ICOM] My 745

[Dave And Merrijoy]

To Larry, Mike and others on this topic...
I lost my output on another brand transceiver and couldn't figure
out what was wrong.  Out of desperation, I talked to a technician for
Motorola commercial radios and asked him if he had any ideas.  He
said to systematically start through all the "warm up" procedures and
carefully tune all the controls, going from one function to the next.
His feelings were - and as it turned, out he was correct - that corrosion
(of all kinds) can set in and sometimes using all of the controls in
proper sequences can sometimes  wake the set up.  It worked.
Just a thought.
