[ICOM] IC756Pro Dim TFT Display

[Stephen Budensiek]

Don't know if this will be of interest, but I noticed in the 756 Pro
owners manual recently, a note that this is normal for the display if
your room temperature is cool.   If you live in the north, and the
radio room gets quite cool, then you come in with it cold, the manual
says this is normal.   Don't know if this will shed any light on your
situation.   You could try keeping the shack warm during turn off'ed,
and see if that changed anything.
