[Icom] Mods for ICOM 756 PROII

Hi Jerry,

The roll-off in the 5.5 ~ 5.9 MHz range is most likely intended to ensure
that the radiated third-harmonic energy on 160m does not exceed limits
specified in FCC Part 97.307(d). I honestly doubt that the designers of a
radio employing up-conversion to a 1st IF well above the upper end of the
radio's frequency coverage would carry over such an ancient relic.

Cheers for now, 73,
Adam VA7OJ/AB4OJ

Isn't 5.5 MHz the old VFO frequency for most rigs? They were useless
in that range. Perhaps that has carried over.

Just my 2 cents
