I had the same power spike issues with my IC-781s and Alpha 87As. Now this
may come as a shock to some but I fixed it by READING THE MANUAL for the ICOM.

Of course I KNEW how to tune up a radio -- don't need no stinkin' 
manual.  But when
I set the radio up per the manual I no longer got a spike.  Don't 
know about the Pro II
but it sure made a difference with my 781s.
