Hi Mark
I am not sure how old the scanner is. I bought it off Ebay from a 
guy in the UK. I have checked with an Icom dealer about servicing 
it. They told me to check with IcomAmerica. 
I will get some contact cleaner and spray the buttons, and then blow 
out with canned air. Another member Bob Parness suggested it could 
be the speaker jack too. I was wondering how much trouble it would 
be to remove the whole scanner from the care to clean the buttons 
where they touch inside. I have had the back cover off, and it 
appears there are several screws that holds it to the front part of 
the case.
I will first try the contact cleaner.
And take things from there.
Thanks
Bruce
