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.
