[ICOM] PW-1/Receiving Antenna Problem

[MikeKirchoff]

I have the 756 PRO II and IC-PW-1 combination and I have been largely happy
with it for almost 3 years.  I put up two bi-directional beverage antennas
this summer that work fantastically with the 756 PRO II when operated
barefoot, but not the combined units do not function when I try to use them
with the PW-1 engaged.  The PW-1 acts like it has no antenna at all when it
is "keyed" and does not function although it does not go into the "Amp
Protect" mode.  The beverages do work when the 756 and PW-1 are not keyed.
I have no clue what the problem could be.  Has someone had this problem and
found the cure?
 
For the record I do disengage the Tuner on the 756 PRO II when I have the
PW-1 engaged.
