[amsat-bb] IC-451A trouble

Tue Apr 28 14:11:28 PDT 2009

I have an IC-451A with a intermittent in the transmit.  I will be transmitting and it will stop for a few minutes then it will be able to transmit again.  When it is stopped when I try to key it there is no output meter indication but the pilot light dims like it does when it is working.  If sounds familiar to anyone, please let me know.  I will dig into a bit, before I run it up the road to Icom in Bellevue.
