My Icom 751 (first model, not a 751A) suddenly developed a problem
this morning: the green "RECEIVE" LED started flashing irregularly,
with the receive audio dropping out when it was off. All controls have
been checked and are in their normal operating positions, squelch pot
is all the way CCW, and this is true in all modes. The "NARROW" LED
comes on for RTTY and CW when I select it, but I have audio only while
the green "RECEIVE" LED is on.

At first I thought it was just the receive side of the rig. Further
scrutiny shows that while the "XMIT" LED comes on when I transmit,
the dummy load sees nothing from the transmitter and I have no meter
indication with the meter switch in the Ic or Po positions; Vc shows
good voltage.

Looks like I have a sick rig. I hope it's simple and doesn't require
unobtainium parts.

Ideas, anyone? I guess I'll tear into it with meter and scope later
today, when I was planning to be using it instead. *sigh*
