Hooked it up to power supply and antenna and the radio powered on OK, The receiver worked ok then after several minutes it just quit again. I put the radio back on the shelf for a few months then I brought it back down to take another look at it. I repowered the radio several times and couldn't get the receive to come back on. The screen came on and I got the everything thats supposed to be there. just a light hiss thats the usual for a receiver not hooked to an antenna. While the rig was receiving, I was getting good signals, atmospheric noise etc. had a friend with better gear then I check it but I don't remember what his readings were. The antenna was a random length long wire. Tried the coax on another piece of gear and it worked fine. No shorts or anything out of the ordinary. Once the receive quit, I tried looking at my coax and antenna to see if that may be the issue. I didn't try the transmit as the antenna wasn't tuned at that point. It received OK for several minutes then the receive quit. About 8 or 9 months ago, I brought it down and hooked it up to an antenna and powered it up. I have an Icom IC-706mkiig that has been sitting on the shelf for several years. Thought I'd cross post it here to see if anyone could help diagnose it as I know a lot of you dont do the zoo.
