[Amps] please help with weird problem - culprit found

[Will Matney]

I don't think he's at fault either, and to me they owe him a repair job
or new rig IMHO. That equipment costs too much for something like that
to be thought of. If they knew it was this way, and did not have it in
the operations manual, that's just wrong and they owe him. There's
nobody that ought to have to read a schematic to see how one is before
they ever use it. That's BAD engineering practice if I ever seen it. If
I was Don, I'd call um up and raise he** until it was settled! Plus, I'm
glad he told it here so I know about Icoms, and whether I could trust
them now on what they make.
