[ICOM] 706MKIIG No CW Output

[hamradioguy]

JV,

When I talked with Fred about this the other day I suggested that it might be a problem with the outside meter/coax connections/antenna etc. in that the radio worked fine in all modes when I checked it out before shipping it. When I last talked to him on Friday he confirmed that I was right and that was the problem. He  told me he could hear the signal in a receiver and that he had put it on the air and worked someone on CW. That would indicate you are now looking for something that has changed since then or reocurred.


I'm wondering if there is still a problem that is swr related causing the rig to fold back it's output to protect it from a high SWR...
