[ICOM] IC-38A flaky squelch

[Mike Olbrisch]

Yup - the 28-38-48 series too.

In the past I have had some luck in disassembling the pot and reworking it.
It isn't too hard - but thinking of the price you can get a used radio for,
I am not sure I would go through all that again.  I was just a poor soldier
at the time.

Hello Icom List:
                       I've a chance at an Icom 38A that "has a squelch
issue", but have not been able to observe the issue firsthand.  After
reading of the 3200 and the other post on the 27/37 series squelch pot nla
now wondering if the 38A has the same part/problem?  Something tells me a
shot of Deoxit will not fix the issue.  Anyone advice?
Happy New Year
