Re: [Norton AntiSpam] [ICOM] Increase receive ¿!?

You have found the RX Gain control. Raising it up from the factory setting 
increases the internal noise level so that the weak ones may be missed. It 
increases the S-Meter reading that is correct, but does not help the 
sensitivity of the radio. The factory setting is a balance between gain and 
noise.

If you would like to increased receive on your 706mk2g, here is the 
procedure.

Take off top cover with front facing you. Behind the left of the VFO against 
the front of the case is 2 square cans with black phillips screws in them. 
Don't adjust these, right behind them in the middle is a metal ajustment 
screw that looks like most of the other ones, like the ajustments for power 
etc.

Have your radio on SSB and turn clockwise and you will hear the receive 
increase. Only turn it a little, that does a lot, you don't want to over do 
it. Too much will bring in a lot of noise.

I've done it to mine and it really made the ears better than from the 
factory. As you know, the receive is great on these rigs, but this improves 
it more. It takes a jewlers flat head screwdriver, be careful. I'm not 
responsable if you mess up.
