Don is blaming himself for this problem.
My feeling is that Icom should not offer/have offered
equipment with a defective design!
All Don did was to connect an auxiliary receive
antenna to the auxiliary receive antenna connection.
The rig fails to operate correctly in those
circumstances and ultimately fails catestrophically.
It is quite unreasonable to expect a user to closely
examine a microscopic schematic before using the
equipment, particularly when the proposed usage is
described in the operating manual.
FWIW, I am sure that all the older Icoms suffer from
the same defect, and suspect that many other rigs from
most manufacturers are the same.
