[ICOM] Icom 706MKII VOX problem

[Robert Chudek - K0RC]

Turn you RF output down as low as it will go and/or transmit into a 
dummy load. Does the problem go away? If so, it is likely RF is getting 
into the PTT or audio and triggering the transmitter.

With the Icom HM-118TM (the TTP mic) whenever I would speak it would go into transmit, as VOX should.  However, when I stopped speaking it would continue to rapidly switch between transmit and receive, as VOX shouldn't.  I tried adjusting the VOX gain and ANTI VOX controls with no luck, other than it wouldn't go into transmit at all with the VOX gain at minimum.  Also, adjusting the VOX delay made no difference.
