[ICOM] No power out on my 7600

It seems I have heard about quite a few uneplained final failures in 
Icom radios from IC-751 and beyond.


Where U doing anything unusual that could cause final failure?


Check output on all bands. On my 756 Pro lll  recently had close to full 
output on some bands and hardly any on others. Finals had to be 
replaced. My finals were damaged when I was using a beverage antenna 
connected to the ant aux socket. It seems ICOM does not switch off that 
connector when in transmit mode and this allows high voltages or 
currents to get into circuitry that may cause damages to components on 
the PA board.


Good luck. Hope it is not ur finals.
