I have seen quite a few reports where the Icom 756PRO2 and 756PRO3  seems
to be really sensitive to ESD (electrostatic discharge) and this can knock
out the transmitter by blowing the driver transistor.  Some of these
reports are from people I know and trust when it comes to radios.  Do the
Icom 756 non-pro (which I purchased recently) or the 756PRO have this same
issue?
