[LOGic] Com port locks up still

Mel:
Ah man, my 87A works extremely well. I did have some early troubles with
static drain - occasionally, when starting, it would blow that little
cylindrical fuse on the low voltage board. I finally just hard-wired the
fuse and I haven't had trouble since. Alpha does have a program to upgrade
your 87A to the new 9500 - pricey I'll bet. HI I'm not familiar with the
Icom rigs except my 706Mk2G that I run mobile. Sounds as if the 781 has an
internal PS. I'm surprised the US guys won't take a look. Can you wire in an
external PS ?

Not completely... but it was just to confirm that it is a issue with the 
USB COM port.
I'll have to get on... but things haven't been going so well here... 
just before Christmas, the power supply in my IC781 died... and I've had 
terrible service from Icom in Canada in the past... and none of the US 
outfits wants to fix it... and yesterday my Alpha 87A started giving 
problems... so I'm down to my barefoot 746Pro ;-)
