		ICOM IC-706 SET-UP BY KB4JD


It is a real pain to figure it out trial-and-error, but here
is what I have deduced over the past two weeks:

 1.  First, set the radio for auto repeater mode in Initial
     Set mode.  This will automatically set the - or + offset
     for any receive frequency that you dial in.  To do this,
     hold the Lock button while pressing the Power button.
     The radio will power up in Initial Set mode.  Turn the
     M-CH knob to 20 AUTO RPTR  and select on1 or on2.  on1
     sets automatic tone off, on2 sets it on.

 2.  Turn power off, then turn it back on.

 3.  Select the band you want to program 14X or 44X with the
     up or down buttons.

 4.  Select S2 using DISPLAY and MENU buttons.

 5.  Select VFO A using F-3 V/M button.

 6.  Select receive frequency using TS button and main dial.

 7.  Press DISPLAY and hold until the Q6 RPTR TONE appears,
     then set the appropriate tone with M-CH, then press
     DISPLAY.

 8.  Select M4 and Press TON F-3.  You should see FM-T at
     the top of the display and a DUP- or DUP+ right below
     the receive frequency.

 9.  Select the channel to program using M-CH.

10.  Select M2 using Display and MENU.

11.  Press F-1 MW to save frequency to the selected channel.


This should have your receive frequency, appropriate
offset transmit frequency, and subaudible tone saved to
your selected channel.  If anyone sees anything I have
omitted or any errors, please correct me.
