Hello all,
I have an IC-910. Just tried to power up the Icom pre-amps with No Luck.. I set pre-amps to "on", pushed the button and "?". The display indicator flashes 5 times and goes out..no power. Tried the amps on my other 910 and they work great and the indicator stays on...both bands.
Does anyone know what may be wrong with the 910?

You did enable the preamp setting in the set menu right? Press and hold set until the display changes, then use the up and down keys to go to pre 144, pre 440, or pre 1200, use the dial to go to yes, then press set again.

Hi Steve, Flashing several times and going out can mean you have a short, unplug your coax and hit the preamp button does it stay on? if yes, check your coax, also I have found some SWR meters have a DC ground in them, the Diamond SX series comes to mind...
