[ICOM] 746PRO SWR 2m

I have an 11 elemant yagi. I noticed SWR was up and power out was down this 
morning. We have freezing fog also. I would imagine the antenna is covered 
with ice. I am used to strictly FM rigs. They show no indication of SWR. And 
even though they may fold back I've never seen a relative output meter show 
it.
