Relay Noise I-Com 7300

[Anonymous]

Good day all. I have been using my first rig for about 3 months now, a I Com 7300. Just recently I have been getting a relay sound while tuning the bands, anyone having the same issue, or is this normal? I’m curious because it just came on recently.

Hi, Mike.

I also have an IC-7300 and have observed the same noises when switching frequencies.

I’m pretty sure that the radio remembers an approximate tuning for a given range of frequencies, and activates the tuning whenever you tune back to that area, even if only receiving.  I believe that this method is a form of “gross” tuning that gets the radio close to where it needs to be, but may still need to automatically “fine” tune if you transmit.
