Hi all;
Well I never thought this would happen but I unpacked my Icom 781
after 3 years in its box(moved to 4-land).
Today I took it out & put in place on my desk.
Fired it up & initially it seemed fine, full output, 150 watts, Audio
adjusted fine, received great.
After a short while of familiarizing myself with the controls, I
started to notice power dropping off. Bad Cable I thought so I changed
it & it was fine for a short time then did the same thing, no output,
ALC meter pins to the right on mike key up. Another bad cable? I slid
it back out again & changed the Coax cable again. Seemed fine but then
started over.
I got sorta annoyed & took a break, came back 2 hours later and was
perfect again but after 45 minutes it started again. Power dropping
off, finally nothing out, ALC meter pins on mike key-up but the PO on
meter shows fine but outboard meter shows zero.
Anyone have any ideas?
I'd hate to have to send this out:-(
73 & tnx,
