Hi Jose,

All IC-746Pro's and IC-7400's manufactured since late 2003 should be free of
the IC151 failure issue. For the IC-746Pro, S/N > 3351 should be OK. 

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Dear Friends:
Was that problem already resolved in that year, month? by Icom.
Thanks
José
 

-----------By KB2LJJ Web Mods---------------- A significant number of hams
have reported failures of IC-746Pro Transmit functions within a few hours to
a few months of otherwise satisfactory operation. The remaining receive and
menu functions are normal, but TX is dead on all bands, HF, 6M and 2M.
Several hams(see eham.net product reviews) report multiple TX failures, with
the rigs going back to Icom in Washington state more than once. 
Indications are that: 

IC151 on the RF Unit; and
D24 and Q25 on the CTRL unit are all bad.
