I'll check the power and fuse. After some further research on this forum, I did
find reference to the same symptoms which were solved by having Icom re-adjust
some voltage setting. Before going that route, I'll look into the power.
Nothing has changed in that department- it's still wired directl
HI Bud,
I know you have said that you haven't had problems with this install before...
just wondering where the antenna is in relation to the transceiver body and
control head.
The first thing I thought of was excessive RF getting back into to radio
somehow... maybe things were "just on the edg
So I took the radio our of the truck and plugged in into the control head and
power supply for my other 800 in the house and it worked fine. Therefore the
radio itself must be fine, meaning that the SWR of the system in the truck is
high and/or the power supply in the truck is problematic.

Good point, John. That will be my next step when I have a moment. Something has
changed about the conditions in the truck and/or radio, as the system worked
fine for 1+ years before this. Also, my D710a works fine on the same power
supply in the truck. Obviously a different radio altogether, but
I've had this same issue installed my first vehicle radio TR-7850 (50W FM). At

Thanks for all of the info, folks. Here are a couple of more pieces of
info/answers to your inquiries:
-The truck is a 2005 F150 Fx4, single battery system
-Power cable from the battery to the Rig Runner block is 8 gauge
-All fuses check out, have no measurable resistance
-Load test of the battery
Nate-
yep, tried that and still the same story: only exhibits that behavior in DV
mode.

Did it transmit high power, without going down to mid-power, when the
truck was off (12V)? If it did, it is the voltage when the engine is
running.
My ID-80 HT has DC power protection which is activated with
I am more concerned about the 11.6 than the 14.5. You should see 13.6
at the battery with the engine running and the headlights on. 14.5
for an extended length of time will be a little hot for the car
battery. My guess is a corroded connection, resistive fuse, or too
small a DC power cable.
