[amsat-bb] Re: IC-910 Pre-amp Problem

Hi Steve,
   Flashing several times and going out can mean you have a short, unplug your coax
and hit the preamp button does it stay on? if yes, check your coax, also I have found
some SWR meters  have a DC ground in them, the Diamond SX series comes to mind...
