Common problems and improper operations of Yaesu FL 2100 RF power amplifier

Examines the Icom IC-2100H 2-meter mobile transceiver, detailing its operational characteristics and user experience. The review highlights the clear, easy-to-read display with internal labels, the button-filled microphone's functionality, and the rig's physical construction, including its weighty heat-sink and lack of a cooling fan. It also discusses memory programming, the unique amber-to-green backlight color options, and the radio's performance against _intermodulation_ in urban environments, noting it performs "pretty darn good" compared to other rigs. The analysis delves into a significant low-voltage cutoff problem, where the microphone ceases to function below approximately **12.6 VDC**, rendering the radio receive-only or causing it to stick in transmit. The author describes testing the voltage cutoff, observing it fluctuate from _12.38 VDC_ to 12.69 VDC. An update from Icom involved a "factory update" to the CPU's control code, which is strongly recommended for early-serial number units to prevent operational failure in low-power emergency scenarios.
