[ICOM] IC-746 Tuner Problem

[Larry Young]

Mac; Most built in tuners can only match an SWR of 3:1 or lower. Try adding a few more feet of feed line if possible to hopefully present a load within the matching range.

 Check the SWR!! Perhaps it is so high above 3.900MHz the automatic tuner can't handle it.

For some reason, the onboard tuner has decided to
quit tuning on 80 meters above 3.9 MHz.

Any ideas where to look?
