I've had my 746 (not a pro) for a few months now.
Really like the rig, but one big pet peeve is the swr
foldback seems pretty extreme.
1.4:1 80 watts out
2.0:1 40 watts out
I'm all for perserving the finals of solid state gear but
this seems a bit excessive to me. The auto tuner works
and brings it back up to 100 watts out. But it's a pain
in the rear to have to keep hitting the auto tune when
you are working search and pounce in a contest. Are
all 746's this sensitive to swr?
