[ICOM] ICOM 756PRO2

Hi Steve. I have the original 756PRO, not the II, but I've used mine almost every day since I brought it home from Tokyo.
Here's my thoughts:
- do you have a manual?
- along the bottom row of small knobs you'll find one marked RF Power, is it fully CW?
- the meter can be toggled through several settings: SWR, Power Out, etc
- do you have a dummy load?

If you see a 'big spike' on the display, I'd start checking your external devices. If you see the big spike, but no meter movement, perhaps your meter is showing your reflected power.

Subject: [ICOM] ICOM 756PRO2

   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----Your Moderator: Dick Flanagan K7VC: icom-owner at mailman.qth.netIcom Users Net: Sundays, 1700Z, 14.316 MHzIcom FAQ: http://www.qsl.net/icom/To support QSL/QTH.net: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
