[ICOM] Icom 706MKII VOX problem

[John Geiger]

Tried it into a dummy load at lowest power, have the same problem.  I see on 
the yahoogroups reflector for the Icom 706 that someone last year reported 
their 706MKII having the same problem.  I emailed him to see if he ever 
found a solution.

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.
