I have an Icom 402s that's less than 1 yr old and it seems that the LCD has faded. The radio is in an overhead box so I know it's not a sunlight issue. Thursday night on of BPM I could barely read the thing. Anyone else having a similar problem with this radio??

Mine is almost three years old and still perfect. By chance did you change your polarized sunglasses recently? If the lenses aren't properly aligned (mine are off a bit) it will raise heck with reading ANY LCD. Otherwise it may actually be a bad display. ICOM is a decent outfit so shouldn't be any trouble to get fixed.

Thanks for the reply -- This was thursday night when the temp was down to 62. I think maybe the lower temps may be affecting it.
OH Yea -- The NWS blew it again that night. It was supossed to be light & vairiable winds with calm seas. It got to blowin about 16-20 and there were 2 1/2 - 3 ' waves that night.

Terpheels --- You broke me up with that response[grin] I'm going to contact Icom today. I may be able to drop this thing off at Mid-Shore and have them repair it. I think they are an authorized repair facility.
