A friend of mine had the same deaf problem with his 756Pro. We ordered the 
fuse and I proceededto take his rig apart to install the new one. I had the 
PC board completely out and to my suprise what did I find, THE TRANSVERTER 
AND REC ANT was reversed on the PC board. There was no way that this could 
be corrected because the PC board is etched as such.
We put it back together without replacing the fuse and "wow" it worked with 
the receive antenna in the transverter jack.
His 756pro manual was WRONG.
He now plugs his 160M receiving antenna into the transverter jack, "per the 
book pictures", and he is DX'in on 160 fine.
