Did the antenna get zapped by static electricity recently? If so, you may
have blown the front end of the receiver.

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?
