[CQ-Contest] Icom 756PRO III just died

[Jim Martin]

I had that with my 746pro.. Turned out it was a bad connection in the psu
which made the relay chatter and the rig switch off.  I am sure you will
have tried it but check you have a constant 12v going to the rig.  Then
possibly dry joints/ bad 12v connections inside the rig.
