Even if the CW filter is missing, he should be receiving CW through
the standard SSB filter.

Just switch to the "CW" mode, and make sure "CW narrow" isn't switched
in.

Thanks Bob, that works! So the problem was that the narrow filter is
missing. :-( Oh well; not that big of a deal.

Thanks to everyone for suggestions.

There's something you might try to narrow the CW bandwidth on your
745:

On my Icom 735, when in the CW mode, and while using the the 2.3 khz
SSB filter to receive CW, the passband tuning knob operates as a
variable bandwidth filter! If I twist it all the way to the right, the
bandwidth is 2.3 khz. And if I twist it all the way to the left, the
bandwidth is narrowed to as little as 800 hz.

I don't know if the 745 works the same way, but you might give it a
try on a crowded CW band and see if there's a narrowing effect.
