<font face="Verdana">Almost a year and a half ago my TS-2000
developed a problem with intermittent shutdown that eventually
graduated to brick status. After MUCH troubleshooting the root
cause was a power line fuse that had transformed into a 1.2k
resistor. I thought at the time that this was so weird it had to
be a one-off.<br>
<br>
Well... now it's a two-off. My IC-756 did the exact same thing
this morning after some heavy FT8 use and sure enough, another
fuse->resistor transformation. Just to be clear, they don't
show as open, nor short. They read ~1k ohm.<br>
<br>
Is this a known/common occurrence or do I live in some weird hole
in the universe where these things happen?<br>
