I recently purchased an ICOM3210A mobile dual band radio. This rig is a 2M/440 rig. I'm not sure if I just didn't notice it at first, but I believe it just started acting strangely. I'm not sure if this is normal, but here's what it's doing. When I transmit on 2 Meters and let up on the PTT key, the radio takes a SMALL (100-200 milliseconds) to TURN AROUND (go to RECEIVE). On 440, it appears to immediately switch back. Is this something that might be blown from a bad antenna connection, or is this something I can modify? I have seen people talking about modifying an ICOM 3200 to REDUCE the delay for packet. Is this the delay referred to? It isn't really a bother to functionality except when on autopatches when people don't know to wait before responding. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. -- Daniel Wynalda | (616) 866-1561 X22 Ham:N8KUD Net:danielw@wyn386.mi.org Wynalda Litho Inc. | 8221 Graphic Industrial Pk. | Rockford, MI 49341
