[ICOM] SWR tuning issue with IC-706MkIIG

[Michael G. Carper]

Okay... found the CW break-in and turned it on (no idea why that would be
defaulted to OFF, but whatever).

Problem remains - no SWR reading (yes, I'm absolutely certain that the meter
is set to SWR.  I've heard folks say there's some kind of diode issue that
comes up.  The radio is probably 10 years old now.  I may send it in for a
look (but would rather not, if I could find a simple cause).

>>Update.

(After doing a CPU reset) Now the rig won't key the transmitter in CW mode
(though I can hear the sidetone).  Still no display of SWR.



Did you turn CW break-in back on after the reset?  I think the default is
"off",  and if not set properly the rig will not give output in CW mode even
tho you can hear the sidetone.
