[RTTY] Help on IC756 Pro II

[kevin at kd1j.com]

  I remember having a similar problem with one of my rigs-
maybe the FT-1000D.

  Before getting ready to ship it off to Yaesu, I opened
the manual to find out how to do a "Big Reset".
  Sure enough, it cured the problem, and it never happened
again.

  Maybe there is a similar RESET you can try with your '756.

GL,

Kevin
