Hi...

Thanks for your reply.=A0 Just to reiterate my previous statement, there
are NO modifications or upgrades to allow any ICOM radio to operate on
60 meters.=A0 If it doesn't come from ICOM, it isn't an authorized
modification, so if you want to modify your radio, that's fine, but if
you damage the radio or if the modification causes damage, the repair is
on the one doing the modification.=A0 You are correct about the MARS
modification, but remember, the frequencies are just outside of the
normal amateur radio bands, so the band pass filters are not "stretched"
too much.

Regards;

Mike

Dear Mike:

I recently received a note from you saying there are no mods available=20
concerning opening the 706mk2g to operate on 5Mhz---

Please check out the following and pass it on to your technical people..

I also have heard that mods ARE available via the factory for MARS and
other=20
uses.
