My G5RV works fine for me on 12M and 17M. Not a beam, but since it's only at
15', I'm happy. My IC756 does have a built in tuner, so I'm sure that helps.

The myth: "Contrary to oft stated views, the Classic G5RV is not
an all band antenna, it: does not have acceptable feed performance
on any WARC bands;" Quoted from: http://www.vk1od.net/G5RV/
12m is a WARC band. The standard G5RV performs very well on 12m
band. Therefore, the above statement is a myth. (Hey, this silly
myth game is actually fun.) :-)
I confirm. I used both G5RV and OCF for Dxing with as good results as on
the
other bands.
