[UK-CONTEST] ICOM 756 pro III front-end

[Marios Nicolaou]

Hi all,

in an attempt to try something new for contesting, I invested in a 756 pro
III. I spent a week preparing for CQWW CW for an SO2R entry only to find out
at 00:00Z (start) that my 756 pro III was deaf. Arhhhhh! I never transmitted
on the same band and had BPF throughout and was not running excessive power
but I believe that the front-end was somehow fried.

I had a similar problem with my 1000MP at WRTC and managed to repair it by
changing an SMD diode (info on my website). Is there an equivalent one for
the 756 pro III (now out of warranty)?  Does anyone have a technical
manual?  I couldnt find anything obvious from  "Dr google".

Many thanks in advance
