[ICOM] 746 Orig on 60 meters

[Gary P. Fiber]

You will have to do the " MARS " modification to open the transmitter. As with
most of Icom's older products, they were not designed to transmit on 60
meters.You could find the transmit low pass filters impede that a bit at 60
meters. Generally once opened the transmiter's will function from 1.8 
to 30 MHz
with some possible power dips at the end of the low pass filter ranges.
