[amsat-bb] Maintenance depot or individual to repair an ICOM IC-821

[Stephen E. Belter]

Mac,

I also recommend MTS.  I had some issues with my IC-821, including low
output power.  I called Scott and he made a series of suggestions that
solved my problems.

For the low output power, check the SWR.  The IC-821 will detect high SWR
and reduce the output to save the finals.  Fix the SWR and the RF power
returns.
