Lately I've had 2 issues with my Icom 200.
The first issue I track to possible poor installation by the builder
...yes that was me. The snap ring for the antenna connector in the back of the tray popped off. So the antenna had poor connection and worked sometimes then sometimes NOT. Jammed it back together to get home and while not easy to fix I should be able to get r done.
Also while trouble shooting the transmit/receive issue I noticed the tuner knob is loose. Both big and small knobs seem to be loose internally and can move up/down 1/16-1/8".
1. Anyone else see this?
2. Is there a way to tighten up these knobs without sending it to repair station?
3. I'm thinking of adding a second radio next winter...should I just drop in a 210 Icom for now in this tray and use the 200 for the 2nd radio after repair?
