[Icom] & filters

Sat, 23 Nov 2002 12:05:54 -0800

Isaac,

I don't know if this works on anything except a 706MKIIG
With the 706 the menu asks you!! What the filter designation is so if
you say FL 223 from the list, it believes you and acts accordingly but
you get the 500hz not the 1.9khz because you physically put in the 500hz
filter.

Hi Randy - this is mostly interesting...
I didn't quite understand the procedure - but would you know if the
trick is
applicable to the IC751A?
(no menu...no fuzz....just radio hihi)
73, Isaac
