  John,

I believe the serial numbers with 7 digits (e.g., 0202855) are assigned 
to units that have been upgraded/modified by Icom during the 
manufacturing process. Hence, they reflect later production runs 
(probably starting about 2 or 3 years ago) than the 4 or 5 digit serial 
number (e.g., 3351).  So in theory the IC-151 issue was taken care of by 
the factory with your unit.

I am trying to read the posts on serial numbers of my 746 Pro.  I have 
read that above 3351 are ok.  does this mean xxx3351?   my serial number 
is 0202855.   Is this number considered problematic with the transmit 
failure? It is below 3351, and from what I can understand, the last four 
numbers are what you go by.  I might have a problem with the ic-151 
issues?   thanks, John K3JK
