Hi JV,
 
Icom's designers did not put a T/R switch in the receive antenna input of
any of the IC-756 radios, going right back to the original IC-756. It would
have been a simple matter to include an additional relay, but the product
planners' decision to omit it was most likely based on the requirements of a
broad spectrum of amateur and non-amateur end-users world-wide.
 
Cheers for now, 73,

    You mean to tell me that Icom didn't have the intelligence to put a
relay switch in the receive antenna circuit. To con a phrase "What in the
#$%& were they thinking"!!! I guess my 756pro is the same way.
