Hello,

I have an IC-718, and when I most recently tried to operate on RTTY, I
noticed my interface wasn't getting any receive audio from the ACC
port.

In fact, the audio transformer in the interface was getting warm, like
there was significant DC voltage between the RX audio and ground on
the ACC port.

Obviously, something is wrong.  I only got this rig 6 months ago.

Has anyone experienced a similar problem or any problem with the ACC
port on these rigs?  Has anyone dealt with such a repair?  If so, how
much did it cost?

As far as I can tell, the rig works fine other than this issue.

tnx fer help es 73,
chris n2mcs
