[Icom] Icom 756PRO as Receiver Only

[George, W5YR]

First thing that comes to mind:

1. set the Break-In  to Off

2.turn on the PRO PTT or "transmit" when you turn on the external
transmitter to send.

Without getting out the schematics, I *think* that should disable the PRO
transmitter and disconnect the receiver from the antenna it may be connected
to when you "transmit.".

However, be a good idea to get out the manual and check this for yourself.
