[Larry Young]

Robert:  You may have the infamous display back light problem. If so, See: www.ka1mda.org/ham/homebrew/746/index.htm  Just google 746Pro back light problem for additional info as well.
Good Luck, Larry K4LXV

I just turned ON my 3 year old 746PRO and the display is dark.  I understand
that there is a driver transistor that gives up.  Is there a place to get
the info for changing the transistor and maybe ever a better part to replace
it with?

Thanks & 73 de,
Bob
