Default A210 thoughts

My a210 just broke on a trip so here are some thoughts:
1. A lot of guys are replacing their 210s so there are used units available at a good price.
2. The cable to the front panel is the weak link so I?m going to use a friction fit to keep the new unit in and never remove the front.
3. I was all set to change to the garmin but got to thinking about the effort to install it at my advanced age. It?s a better radio but not that much better.
4. If you want to go with a new radio, contact John Stark and ask him to make you a harness also.

You can remove the front and still keep the ribbon cable connected by using some blue tape. This will allow you to NOT put any load on the ribbon or connector. Minimize you A210 problems. But im with you on a new com change over. Especially on a slider. Another failure and ship back to west coast and i beleive that will cross the line for me on the 210

I had my A-200 repaired about a month ago by an Icom service center... $75. Works great again.
