[ICOM] Icom 756-Pro II

Thu Jul 8 02:20:34 EDT 2004

David,

I use the Icom AH-4 on ant 1 port with a 80m horizontal loop for MARS
frequencies, hold tuner button to tune. Tried the internal tuner with the 6m
vertical on ant 2 port, which should not be required. Still no transmit on
ant 2 port.

Thanks,
Mike
