[ICOM] Icom 756 light bulb flickering at the Power/swr meter

[Jerry Flanders]

Meter the voltage at the radio. You probably have 
it varying when key down. Maybe a defective fuse 
or wrong size wiring or bad connector terminal. 
Fix that  voltage drop and your light will 
probably be OK (or maybe just ignore the flicker?)

If the PS voltage is constant when keydown, meter 
the wiring run by pieces (across the fuse/from 
PSA to fuse/from fuse to radio/etc) to get a good 
fix on where the problem lies.
