I may be able to help here.  I'm told that the IC-756 uses
the same reed relay as the IC-746 to internally switch the
SEND output.  If that is true, then you might find the
following question:

	Q:3.5.4   Do I need an external amplifier switching relay?

of the IC-746 FAQ at:

to be helpful.  This issue has caused some grief over the
past few years.

Bottom line:  It works for some, but not for others.  Failures
can be both expensive and mysterious.  The safest course of
action is to use an isolation relay/circuit.
