SSB Troubleshooting
My trusty old ICOM 710RT is giving me a little trouble. Looking for troubleshooting ideas.

Rest of rig consists of an AT-140 tuner, dynaplate, and an uninsulated side stay as antenna. This has worked very well for many years.

Boat got laid up longer than planned (about a year). SSB was working fine before, but after re-launching my SSB would "glitch" on transmit. "Glitch" meaning the LCD display would flicker in random ways, sometimes flash "Error", but not always. Transmission is interrupted during glitch. I checked and cleaned connectors. All looked good...no moisture/corrossion found. Found a couple of slighly loose ground connections....cleaned and resecured. This helped.

Now I can transmit fine on 6mhz on low, med, and high power with no glitch. On 8mhz I can transmit on low or med power, but high will glitch.
