Good Afternoon...

Thanks for your e-mail.

At this time, there are no modifications or upgrades to any ICOM radio to
allow operation on 60 meters.

Best Regards;

Mike

Sirs:

I own an Icom 706 MK2G----Asmyou know the FCC has approved the use of the 5
mhz band for ham use. [see attachment]

Does Icom have a suggested mod to open up the 5 Mhz band? Do you suggest
this be done at the factory? If so what would be the cost?

ARLB038 New 60-meter band becomes available July 3

SB QST ARL ARLB038
ARLB038 New 60-meter band becomes available July 3

The new five-channel 60-meter domestic secondary amateur allocation
becomes available to US Amateur Radio operators at midnight local
time on July 3. The FCC Report and Order granting the allocation was
published June 3 in the Federal Register. Federal government users
are primary in the 5 MHz band.

The FCC has granted amateurs use of five 2.8 kHz-wide channels with
center frequencies of 5332, 5348, 5368, 5373 and 5405 kHz. The
channels will be available to General and higher class licensees.
The only permitted mode will be upper-sideband USB phone, and 50 W
ERP is the maximum power allowed.

Users of the 60-meter channels should set their carrier frequency
1.5 kHz lower than the channel center frequency. ARRL suggests
restricting transmitted audio bandwidth to 200 Hz on the low end and
2800 Hz on the high end for a total bandwidth of 2.6 kHz. ARRL
recommends that amateurs considering modifying existing amateur
equipment for operation on 60 meters contact the equipment's
manufacturer for advice.
