ICOM 706MK II

I had gotten this rig from a friend last week.  He stated that in 2m mode, the unit will not key up (transmit).  Although, on 6m it works fine. 

Any ideas before I spend the $$$ on an estimate and repair?

Tom,

It depends on what the problem is.  The HF portion of the radio (including 6 Meters) is a different part of the radio (the PA) than the 2 Meter portion.  This is obvious by the seperate antenna connections on the back of the radio. It could be the VHF amplifier or another simple problem.  

I would inquire in the IC-706 Yahoo Group,
