Bryan,

Is this a general problem, or is it only on the Icom 200 radio.  It seems to 
me that if different guys on different aircraft (ie installations) are 
experiencing the same problem, then perhaps the type of radio is the common 
factor here.

As an example, I have the now obsolete Appollo SL30 Nav/Com but have not 
noticed any poor performance.

What is the experience of the owners of other makes of radio.

regards,

Mike
