I wonder if the antenna connector broke inside? Can you open it up to
inspect it? I'm sure whatever is wrong could be repaired if you sent it
back to Icom. On the other hand, you could eBay it for whatever you can
get, then put the proceeds toward a new IC-R5 or something...it's better
than torching it.

My IC-R2 is very sick.

It's not picking up ANY frequencies.

When squelch is at AUTO, I hear a faint hiss and it will scan MAYBE 10
channels a Minute! When at Level 1-9, I only hear a faint hiss when I
hold the monitor (sql) key in.

Tried tuning my local FM radio stations (WFM) and nothing, just the same
faint hiss.

I did a total and a partial reset with no luck.

A Pro-95 and AR8200 in the same room are loud and clear.

Nothing is rattling around inside! :\

What's wrong with it???? Should I fire up my torch and cook it?
