[ICOM] IC746Pro output power fail

[jeff partington]

don't mean to be critical, this is a common problem that has plaqued this radio throughout it's production run. icom supposedly fixed the problem in later production runs, but was a lie, very soon you will have no output. do yourself a favor, get it fixed and get rid of it, even though when they work, they are a great radio, you will be continuously fixing it.

Hello,

Since yesterday my IC746Pro has 50Watt output power on 80m only, going down to 
3Watt on 10m.
Measured with MFJ VersaTuner and Dummy Load
SWR is ok, MIC and Power is MAX, reset did not help
Tested with SSB CW and FM and with both antenna outputs.
MFJ and 746 Power readings are in line.
ALC reading is low as well.

Any ideas, or is a ICOM reapair necessary?

Tnx for help
