[ICOM] Icom 756-Pro II

[Ted Wright]

Hi David
Transceive , Now it works but only after wrenching down on the ground 
lug in rear of the radio and only with the tuner in line. take out the 
tuner and my problem returns. Either port does the same thing , using 
any one of my dipoles same thing . two resonant antennas for six work 
with my 100d  but not my pro . strange thing is they used two all the time..
