Was looking for some thoughts on a problem I am encountering with my new
Icom 208h mobile. I mounted it in my truck yesterday with the remote control
unit on my dash and the actual radio mounted elsewhere in the vehicle. When
I powered it up this morning, I noticed that some segments on the display
were partially lit that shouldn't be. For example I have an alphanumeric
name on one of the repeaters, where the forth character was an 'H'. The
display was showing an extra segment across the bottom of the 'H'. There was
also a "sql" icon near the top that should not have been showing. The
erroneous segments were not black like the others, but at about half
intensity. After about 10 min or so, the display cleared up and was normal.
After the radio is powered off for a while, if I turn it back on, it will do
this again.

I have already programmed the radio, so I do not want to be too quick in
doing a full reset and I am not sure this will help anyway. Does this sound
like a defective display or could something else be causing this?

Many thanks and 73,

Darryl
