Installed a new Icom IC-A220 last fall and have had zero issues with it until this past week. Took a trip to Idaho and, as usual, everything was damp in the mornings from the heavy dew. Every morning the radio failed to transmit. After 10ish minutes of flying with the vents open and heater on, the transmitter worked flawlessly until the next morning. Wash, rinse, repeat x3. Got back to Texas last night. Fired up the plane today and radio works perfectly. Called Icom and they just said that it was impossible to troubleshoot without being here. Radio is under warranty until July 2021 but I’m sure if I send it to them it’s going to work flawlessly on their test bench. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions besides selling this thing on ebay and buying a Garmin?
