[ICOM] Icom 756 Pro II.

Hi Marty --
I also have a PRO and I also have a strong signal on 50.125 but I 
finally tracked it down.  Believe it or not, my 900MHz cordless 
phone, when it is charging the handset's batteries, puts out that 
signal.  It doesn't move around much at all but it really places a 
good blip on the scope.  It was because of that signal that I 
discovered the fantastic ability of the Auto Notch feature.
If you have a cordless phone around, particularly one on 900MHz, try 
unplugging the wall-wart.
73,
