[-] [ICOM] 746 pro auto tuner problems

[Ed Yeary]

Ok when tuned into a dummy load no joy there either. It doesn't even begin 
to tune. I switched antennas and it still wouldn't tune. Tunes 6 fine 
(apparently) but won't do it on the rest of the hf bands and I have tried 
them all. It starts to tune with the click click but then the swr shoots 
high and the tuner kicks out in all trials.
