I was told it was only 10 feet so I cut a piece of coax at about 15ft
and put connectors on it. If it is 20ft I can cut a longer piece and
have it ready for tomorrow.

A "loaner" is in the console but turned off. Basically, fire up the IC-746 and talk.  By the way the internal tuner in the IC-746 has also failed, so don't hit the TUNE button.  It will need to be shipped off to Icom for some TLC.
