[ICOM] [GMC] Icom 756 PROIII LCD display gone dim suddenly

[Phil Krichbaum]

Follow up on display fix:

    By the end of the day the display went totally black and I sent if 
off to Tim Moes at Midwest Technical Services in Watertown SD. It turns 
out the backlite xfmr, a transistor and a cap were gone. He also cured 
the audio feed thru problem I was having with the Dual Watch where 
strong signals on the split frequency were bleeding thru to the primary 
RX frequency even with the Balance control fully counter clockwise. 
Anyways another good and quick fix by Tim and at a reasonable price as well.
