IC-92AD Display Goes Blank

[MrVinodshreyas]

This problem of this Radio can Survive,,There r some modification Required in this Radio..New productions alredy made this Modification...Radio Engineer can do this modification..anybody required this contact me

hmmm..interesting.

I guess this isn't really the situation you'd find yourself in to often; transmitting directly into the face of your 92AD. But a little disconcerting nonetheless.

Perhaps you should ask Harry Potter to borow HIS wand instead!

thats a known fault on the IC92.. I had it on mine, when i spoke to Icom at a local radio rally, they confirmed it.. Send it back to Icom who will do a free modification to it under warranty.

Ever stop to think that when you use the radio as your supposed to, there is 5 watts less than 1/2 inch from the display? (It's a true dual bander so at least one receiver is active when you are transmitting.) How is that any different than another radio transmitting in close proximity?? Anyway I hear what you are saying.... just don't make it sound like an excuse for a shitty design issue.

The heck with the display just think what your doing to the front end. Keep doing that and it will be deaf as a post and no display to boot.

I just bought mine yesterday, and the dam thing did to me. I found it is rf interference caused on the 2 m side as u tx on 2 m and wave your hand in front it will cause the display processor to drop the display signal. 440 does not seem to cause a problem.

Well, that's just one of the damnedest things I've seen.

My Friend have this problem also.

try shielding the LCD with piece of aluminium foil haha

i actually broke a 32 inch crt HDTV with my VX-170/stock antenna on 2 watts

bye bye $1200

haha

I wouldnt recommend keeping doing this though.

A radio that isn't shielded is a major flaw.. Considering during normal use there is up to 5 watt less than 1 inch from the LCD anyway. Some of the newer IC-92AD's have a greener tint to the LCD, which I assume offers better shielding.

That doesn't surprise me with the TV.

my question is does the radio do this with its own 2m TX? i imagine there is some type of preventative circuitry that keeps its own TX from doing this, and that because the transmission is coming from an "outside" source. ive never had a hiccup with a radio like this ever, a general rule ive always followed is radios(especiallt on vhf) will **** with electronics at a close range, i guess a radio is no safer lol. im no expert though haha. i always stuck with single bander handhelds myself.
