[ICOM] IC706MK2g gets hot on xmit and audio distorts

[Paul Gates, KD3JF]

There is a modification to fix the fan so it blows all the time. I do not have the problem with mine because the radio is in the path of the air conditioner. On your 706 does the fan come on when it gets hot? Mine does.
Paul, KD3JF...If you need the modification let me know.
