[Icom] A couple of PRO 2 questions

[Steve]

I bought a new 756PROII about 6 months ago.  I notice two things about
it that I'd appreciate some help with.
 
First, it seems that if the unit has been off for a day or two (or
longer) the screen doesn't light up immediately.  Last week, for
instance, I was away for a few days.  When I returned and powered up the
rig, the screen did not light up although the receiver began making
audio in the typical ten seconds or so.  The screen came to life about a
minute and a half after I hit the power switch.  After it's been on, if
I turn the rig off and immediately turn it back on, the screen
immediately lights up.  Anyone else seen behavior like this?
 
Second question:  During the recent contest I noticed a few occasions
when the 756PROII receiver seemed to desensitize for a few seconds after
a transmission (CW, full break-in).  The audio output seemed to drop
and/or the receiver sensitivity decreased.  It recovered on its own from
this behavior within a few seconds.  This "desense" occurred perhaps a
dozen times during the course of the weekend contest on 80 through 10
meters.  Am I misadjusting something to cause this?  Or is something
failing in the rig?  I use the 756PROII with a PW1 amplifier, Johnson KW
Matchbox, open wire transmission line feeding a pair of dipoles.
 
Thanks!
