[ICOM] Icom 756 Pro II.

[Joe]

Hi Martin,

Welcome to the magic band!  I have the original Icom 756Pro, and it too has 
a minor birdie at 50.125.  I run the auto notch filter on when I'm working 
6, and it takes it out OK.  I've never asked the question, but it seems 
that it may be a common characteristic.  Yes, 50.125 is the SSB calling 
frequency.  See you on 6!

73,
Joe
