Hi all,
We have an Icom 710RT SSB on our catamaran (now in Guatamala), and
haave been having some strange behaviour from the Mic recently.

When I release the Tx button on the mic after transmitting, the radio
will sometimes (30%) downshift to the next lower programmed freq. No, I
am not hitting the channel key on the mic.This odd behaviour only
happens on the 8 meg freq. Naturally, that is the net freq for that
part of the Carib.

Makes me look like more of an idiot than I already am when I don't hear
or respond to a reply to my thoughtful comments on the net.

EMF or RF causes?? Bad mic? Any help with causes/cures? Leave to go
back to the boat in a month.
