[ICOM] ICOM 706MKIIG CW Note

[David J. Ring, Jr.]

Critical ears might say that all IC-706's sound that way.

That is one way I identify a 706.   That "almost a chirp" sound on CW.

I have never heard one that didn't sound that way.  At first I thought it 
was the full break in, but having the operator change to VOX didn't change 
the sound (note) one bit.

After a few moments, though, I get used to the 706 sound and it doesn't 
bother me anymore.  It doesn't sound as good as most other ICOMs on CW but 
it doesn't sound that bad either.

I am suddenly getting reports that my ICOM 706MKIIG is producing a "mushy"
CW  note almost to the point of a chirp.

Anyone have any experience with this, I have eliminated the power supply as
the culprit by swapping out another 706MKIIG.

Thanks and 73,
