[ICOM] 746pro sn# question

[Igor Sokolov]

This may be true for the US but here in Russia you are on your own if 746
exhibits that tx problem.
As far as ICOM's claim is I know at least 4 people here with 746PRO who had
to fix that  tx problem either themselves or had to pay someone who did it
for them. Shame because otherwise this rig is pretty good value for money.

someone provides it before then.  I also believe it is at the Icom website.
At least it was.

supplier that regardless to whom you bought the rig from, Icom will repair
it if there is a problem.   They do not want a bigger black eye over this.
They also claim that the problem is not as extensive as it has been made out
to be.
