Sent the e-mail to ICom and they quickly responded that if I wanted to I
could send them the unit for repair. I discovered that there was an
authorized ICom repair station here in San Antonio, so I took it to them on
Tuesday for repair. That was the good news...

The bad news is they called me this morning and told me that it was in fact
the radio itself that was bad. However they COULD NOT repair the unit and
told me and I needed to send it in to ICom for repair. They also told me
that since I did not buy the radio from them if they sent it to ICom for me
it would cost me $30 shipping/handling fees :-(. So, I have the radio in my
living room and tomorrow I will box it up and send it to ICom.

Since it is new and I have only had it for 2 months, I am going to request a
new radio. We shall see what happens, and I will let you know.

Thanks again for all of the suggestions and ideas.
