[ICOM] Icom 756-Pro II

[Ted Wright]

Hi David
Yes I have many many times .. This is a new two week old problem . I did 
start to look into different things such as possible grounding trouble  
and one thing I came up with was this I tightened the ground lug on the 
back of the rig { was not loose ] but made it tighter and now I can use 
Six meters but only with the tuner in line ???? When I take out the 
tuner the problem returns... It really has me stumped,. so on we go 
thanks for asking ...
