   About 4 months ago, I bought an ICOM 756Pro2 that looked in great condition.  Since purchasing this radio I have mainly used it for  dialing up the freqs & just listening on all the bands - no transmitting.   Recently I decided to check out the transmitter - hooked up the MFJ 969 Tuner to check out the tranny & antenna ..  dialed up the HF freqs - hit the Mic to transmit -- The 756Pro2 screen shows a real nice spike during transmission - the red TX light turns on --- indicating that I'm transmitting ..... BUT -- there is no needle activity on the Tuner .. Unable to check the output power as there is NO "Po" light on the 756Pro2 (however, when I click the same button to SWR, the green light comes on) ..  
Next step is to check the Tuner --  hooked the Tuner up to my VHF/UHF Tribander to check functionality ... it has needle movement on the Reflected Power but not on the Forward (most likely of low watts on Tribander) ... 
So, I'm appealing to all the ICOM 756Pro2  Techies out there for H E L P   73
