[ICOM] IC-756PRO

[Tom Norris]

There is a fix for that, I had to do that to my Pro.  It was gone  
over in QST back in June 2002, It is in detail on mods.dk.  Basically  
it involves adding a capacitor.  This will cure the "click click"  
from adjacent strong adjacent CW signals and the ghostlike rumbling  
that might be heard from nearby strong SSB signals.
