Mike,
Whilst most are Icom 200's, the problem does not seem to be limited to them.
Fred F is suggesting an antenna problem, maybe one which unique to the
manual's installation procedure.
At this time there are suggestions to offset the problem, but we have not
identified a positive fix.
Cheers Bryan
