[ICOM] 756Pro Alinement

[Ron Lowrance, K4SX]

When tuning the WWV signals on 5, 10, and 15MHZ the typical mode is AM.  You
will notice that the AM signal is centered on the center line of your
display.  When you change to LSB the signal will shift one direction and the
opposite for USB.  If I understand your question correctly and your radio is
behaving in the manner just described, so your radio is operating properly.
If I missed your point please send me an email.

Hi all,

I have a 756Pro that seems to be out of alignment.  If I tune in 10.000mhz
on AM, then switch to USB then LSB, shouldn't the sound be the same on both
LSB and USB?  It is not.  I've checked at 10, 15, and 20mhz on the WWV freqs
and USB/LSB tone is off on all bands, but amount of tone off varies per
band.

I looked at the ICOM alignment procedure in the manual, but was told by a
couple of folks that would not do the alignment I needed.  Is this true?  OR
would this  procedure work?

I would like to find a repair should within a couple of hundred miles of
Mobile, AL so I could perhaps take the rig in one morning, and pick it up
that afternoon if at all possible.

Thanks for any info/help anyone can provide.
