[ICOM] Icom 756-Pro II

Wed Jul 7 12:44:37 EDT 2004

When the tuner light is on, doesn't that mean you have to press it so that
the tuner will tune.

Then you should have the transmit working!

I believe the tuner in the PRO2 is also not automatic on six meters.  I have
my tuner set for manual anyway, so I always have to press the button if I
want the ATU to tune.  (I use an external ATU to tune an Extended Double
Zepp which the ATU won't touch!)

That's what I do!

David,

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know ant 2 port could be set for receive
(select ant 2 port and then hold same button in for a couple of seconds -
screen shows ant 2 /R).

Tuner light does come on with ant 2. When I hit ptt on mic or below power
button, squelch closes but still no trans or TX light.

SGD,
Mike ae6fl
