[ICOM] Filter recomendation for IC-706MKIIg?

[Doug Faunt N6TQS +1-510-655-8604]

I tell the setup menu that the real FL100 filter (500Hz) is a FL103
and the real FL232 (350Hz) is a FL223, then the normal position is the
default 2.4kHz filter, "W" is the the 500Hz filter and "N" is the
350Hz filter.  If you've only got one narrow filter, then call it a
FL-223 and "N" will select it in all modes.

Watch the waterfall display and move the bandpass to the right place
using the shift control, as necessary.  It'll be obvious.

   Thanks for the information, what do you tell the menus in the 706 about
   which filters are installed, and how do you use them in USB or LSB with
   PSK31??

   Thanks again for the information!
