I have an
Icom IC-M45
VHF radio that has the following problem. Whenever I hit the mike's transmit button, the unit's display dims by about 50% and the "BATTERY" indicator blinks on the display. I don't have this problem when using using
low power, only high
power and it's not a
battery issue since this happens even when the
boat is hooked up to
shore power or running with fully charged
batteries.
I have had difficulty getting heard on high
power but
reception is fine so it doesn't look like an
antenna problem.
I can easily replace the
radio but I want to make sure it's shot before I spend the
money.
Anyone have a possible explanation for this problem? It's not even listed in the user manual...
Cheers,
Moxie
