[ICOM] Icom 756 Pro ll select band operation

[Frank A. Ellis]

Mark,

I agree with the previous poster who recommended to
double check the default ANT selection for each band.

I don't think it is a coincidence that the 14, 21, and
28 Mhz bands are the only ones that are OK. These are
probably grouped together using one of the antenna
connections for a tri-band yagi, for instance, and
leaving the other bands on the opposite antenna port. 

I agree with you, it's probably something simple. If
all else fails, you could always reset the radio to
all default settings using the procedure in the
manual. This will remove all customization data
previously entered.

73 and good luck,

Frank W3UHF
