[amsat-bb] KPC and IC910 help

[Glenn Little]

Do you have the service manual for the IC910H?

If not, it can be downloaded 
here  http://www.rigpix.com/icom/ic910h_service.pdf.

The manual for the KPC9612+ is available here 
http://www.kantronics.com/documents/KPC-9612PMX_Manual.pdf.

I will look this evening to see what may be causing your problem.
