I bought a IC-701 thru ebay. I'm new, still studying for exam. I've been careful not to power up the equipment, didn't want to burn something up. This until...I couldn't wait any longer. I turned it on and back off a few seconds later. From either the power supply or the radio, I d/n know which, came this clicking, almost a clacking, and not soft-like. It was pretty loud. Tack tack tack tack tack....you get the idea. No antenna, no mike, no dummy load, no auxillary ground (I wonder about that). Nothing else but P.S. & radio. Is this a common phenomenon and does it signal the death-throws of a radio? How badly did I mess up? |
