Anyone ever have a problem with a Icom 706MKIIG not turning on? I
checked voltage inside the unit and it shows 14 v up through the
internal fuse section.
I own 2 Icom 706mkiig and this newer model just would shut off while
attempting to Tx in the other vehicle where the older 706 mkiig works
flawlessly.
Of course the warranty just expired


I have one and sometimes it will not come on in the house. It seems that
when I turn on the power supply then try to turn on the Icom , it will not
come on. If I unplug the Icom and plug it back to the 12 volt supply it
will come on and work fine. Not sure if the voltage comming up slow has
something to do with that or not. It just started doing it after about 2
years. All the other rigs work fine from the same Astron 50 amp supply,
including a Yeasu 757.
