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.

This is a link to Kuni. He makes repairs for ICOM America in Bellevue Wa.

He has repaired many ICOM radios and repair prices are very fair.

Bets of luck with your radio.

Al,
I have had problems with my IC 820H not locking not responding to controls
and being intermittent. Problem was traced to several ribbon type cables
that interconnect the various boards and switches to the MPU unit. Careful
removal and cleaning restored all functions and now has been free of trouble
for 2 + years. It has an excellent receiver and very poor control functions.
I have found switching between the main and sub bands using the RIT on
receive and tuning the transmitter on transmit makes it easy to handle the
Doppler on the SSB satellites.

Good luck on getting it back up and working.

Art, KC6UQH

In an open effort to help any AMSAT member with ICOM satellite rig problems,
may I offer this recommendation.

Through personal experiences with ICOM radio repairs, I have found Scott
Malcom, KA7MEF, who heads up Malcom Technical Services (MTS), to be
extremely talented in ICOM repair, and one of the most fair persons to deal
with ever. Malcom Technical Services is located at 5130 Jackson Hwy,
Toledo, WA 98591-8680. His email is < ***@trip.net > if you wish to contact
him. Scott also has excellent reviews on eHam.net, and I highly recommend
him for any ICOM repair work.
