Mac,
I also recommend MTS. I had some issues with my IC-821, including low output power. I called Scott and he made a series of suggestions that solved my problems.
For the low output power, check the SWR. The IC-821 will detect high SWR and reduce the output to save the finals. Fix the SWR and the RF power returns.

Hello,
A fellow ham in my radio club has an ICOM IC-821 that has developed a problem. The transmit power on 2M has dropped from its nominal 45 Watts to 18 Watts. He has already attempted to obtain service through ICOM and some other repair services without success. Is anyone aware of a repair outlet or an individual that is knowledgeable of the IC-821 in order to perform repairs?
