Brand X or Brand Y or even brand Z.....if there is a problem we will never know. I really do not think and brand radio will come forward and say, ya our radio failed........This technology is still new and advancing everyday. with that, my thinking is that the truth will never be known. But then again, ic can very well be something we are over looking. can be something as easy as a battery acting up, such as one cell in a pack gone bad and under a spike or a heavy load, battery runs below voltage and receiver goes into failsafe.....
