[ICOM] Icom 756 Pro ll select band operation

[Tom Norris]

Mark, as much as would hate to suggest such a thing,
I would get in touch with Icom and have their service
center look at it. Unless I am missing something, I
don't see much in  the service manual that shows
a lot in common with those bands. (I'm sure I
have overlooked something...)
