Hi Matthew,
I had a problem on my IC706MK2 where I was getting distorted audio, people thought I had RF in the Mic but on further investigation, I found that it was a power supply issue. I was getting a 1.2 volt drop in the Icom power cable. This was caused by the in line fuses dropping volts! I am in the process of replacing the 3AG fuses with automotive blade fuses. I have not seen a 746 cable but I assume it would be the same. Check to see if you are getting warm fuse holders.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

I have had low power output (80w) for about 3 months on my Icom 746. Now I have distorted audio. Does anyone have any input of what the problem is?
