IC 208H Service manual error correction.
The Following Icom Knowledge Base Article is WRONG.
The service manual shows a 2.2 K resistor for the jig on page 5-2. It SHOULD be a 22K resistor
(which in fact worked for me).
Following the article is a copy of an E-mail I received from Icom about the subject.

Issue I can't make my 208H go into adjust mode after building a jig for the microphone jack as
described in the Service Manual. What's the matter? Resolution There is a descrepency in the
service manual. The Service Manual on page 5-2 shows a 22k resistor. it should be a 2.2k
resistor.

Good Morning..... Thanks for your e-mail.
The service manual has a mis-print. The resistor in the jig cable should be sized at 22 K ohm, not
2.2 K ohm. This may be the issue, so change the value of the resistor and I believe that this will
take care of it.
