[TenTec] work in progress

[Steve N4LQ]

Yep, well it's interesting that this just popped up on the ICOM reflector. 
Bad words edited out.

Well, it finally happened. My 746 pro transmit told me to leave it alone. No 
transmit on any hf band or 6 meters. To top it off I can't seem to bring up 
the Icom America webpage. What gods transpire to this type of affliction? I 
am extremely disappointed in Icom and the 746 pro. Are there any out there 
that this doesn't happen to? I guess it's time to play the send it off and 
hope like h it comes back right game.
