Hi AL

I ran into some issues with my Yaesu FT-847 one year ago. He was acting strangely as the processor was corrupted. Someone told me a full 
reset can solved my issues and he was right all the menu functions are returning back to their normal state. I don't know if the Icom main 
processor can be resetted? but before sending it to the repair shop it's could be something to try.

P.S. Doing a reset make all your memory settings disappear just take note of your settings and other memory parameters before resetting.
