Tom,
I also remember hearing about final problems with some of the 746's.
Perhaps it was with the PRO, but some e-ham or google searching may kick
up something for you.
If all else fails, I would also vote for the reset. There's a lot going on
in these modern radios and things can get out of whack.
You really should have a dummy load . Are you sure that all is good between
the rig and antennas? If you are running a single coax to the tower and
remote switching between antennas, be sure coax and switch are good. If
running 2 feedlines to the antennas, what is common to both in the shack?
Check all connections between rig and any meters, switches, filters, etc.
To eleminate everything else from the equation, connect a resonant
antenna direct to the rig and have your xyl check the rig's meter.
As for the reset, perhaps swr protection is kicking in for some reason and
limiting power. Maybe a reset will fix it. Kenwood (at least on the
TS-2000) offers a choice of full or partial reset. While a full reset
blows away everything and restores all to factory defaults, a partial will
keep memory and menu settings intact. Check your manual and see if Icom
offers this feature.
73 and Merry Christmas,
Steve KW3A
