Hi folks,

Well, the 761 is indeed worker better than it has in a long time.  I have
more parts ordered from Icom.

The processor is still DOA, when it is on, no SSB power out at all, off,
100 watts out.

I am not getting any ALC indication at all in any mode, zilch, nada.

I think I see why the wiring to the antenna drive motors was cut off and
taped up, although the motors run fine when dc is applied to them direct,
they will not operate at all in auto tune mode.

When the tuner is in line and RF is applied (am), the 2 leds on the preset
board toward the back of the radio , by the adjustments flicker and dim
down badly.   The swr shown on the meter is about 7 to one.

Anyone have any good ideas?

Thanks
