[ICOM] re:tv on 7000

You are correct!  Channel 2 is used all the time. For those who are
fortunate to not have a channel 2 in their area it works great.

I understand there is a now a modification published on how to restore
the TV RX function to the 7000.

After reading some of the comments on the tv I am inclined to submit
this 
thought.The tv capability is really a cool tool for 6 meter and 2 meter
ssb 
work.With the tv active you can search the tv bands such as tv ch2 for 
active band openings.Tv ch 7 is 175 mhz as channel 6 which is
83mhz.Using 
your current antennas for 6 and 2.Some noted 6 meter ops still keep a tv

turned on just as a tool for band openings.Just some thoughts..73 to all
and 
Merry Christmas,all the best in 2006..john
