[ICOM] 756Pro Alinement

[Ken]

Good morning Ron, and thank you for your response.

You are correct, the signal will shift when switching from AM to LSB and to
USB, but it should shift the same amount - it doesn't.  It's only a small
amount, but you can actually tell it from the bandscope, but hearing it is
more telling.  For normal CW (or SSB) it's not enough to cause a problem,
but when working the digital modes, it is more telling.

Any ideas?

Ken
