[ICOM] ICOM IC-2350H questions

[George J. Nixon Jr.]

Gary and John -
 
     
     Thanks for your prompt comments!  
     .
      First, I took the fan out, blowed some dust and out if and gave it a few finger twirls.  I then applied external 12vdc to it and it started running.  So far so good - I put it back in the rig, set it to run continuous ("on"), and it started running continous - again, so far so good.
 
      Next, I changed the running setting to "AT" and noticed the fan wasn't running when I was transmitting, so I put it back on "on", and it did not run at all.
 
     Second, about the "Demonstration" mode settings (also on manual page46).  I held the UHF volume control shaft in and held down SET while turning the  power on.  The display then showed normally - but a few minutes later, it went into the annoying "Demonstration" mode again.
 
     I even tried the VHF volume control shaft plus SET while turning the power on - still the same old story.
 
     He could probably find an exact replacement fan on the internet, but with not being able to turn off the "Demonstration" , I think he will probably be returning it to the seller.

See page 46 of the manual, Demonstration display. It is a toggle function.  
PDFs of the manual are on line if you didn't get one with the radio.

It can be temporarily shut off by pressing one of the main band buttons.  We've looked through the instruction manual, but haven't been able to  match the condition up with anything there, and sure would like to be able to disable the annoyance!   Any help would be appreciated.  73 - George, N9EJS
