[ICOM] ICOM 746 PRO circa 2004

[Adam Farson]

Hi Ken,

The cause could be a sticking T/R relay. If you briefly key the transmitter
whilst the receiver sensitivity is poor, does the receiver recover
immediately upon unkeying?

Cheers for now, 73,

My 746 PRO is doing something funny and I can't figure out what I messed
with in the controls to make this occur.

After I transmit on SSB PTT, or CW on break-in mode, the receiver
sensitivity remains low for 5 to 10 seconds after transmitting until I can
once again hear my contact. Like I have inadvertantly entered some kind of
delay on the re-start of the receiver. 

Any help would be most appreciated!

Does anyone else find the ICOM instructions to be completely
non-instructive??? 

Tnx,

Ken
