[ICOM] 756 pro III noise

[Jaime Gomez]

To close the issue, the radio was purchased second hand in USA. I found one
of the bottom cover screws changed and one missing, clear sign that the
radio was opened, so probably somebody opened the VCO compartment and by
some unknown reason rerouted the cables and didn't take good care when
replacing the cover and pinched the 3SLO cable.
Cheers to all who sent me answers to my mails.
