[ICOM] Icom 746 (not pro)

[John Geiger]

Hi Mike,

I had great luck with an Icom 746 on RTTY in the past.
 Use something like a RASCAL interface to hook into
the ACC jack on the rear, download MMTTY software, and
go at it.  You can fool it into letting you use the
narrow CW filters on SSB for AFSK use also.  Just go
into the menu and tell the rig that the CW filter is
actually a FL223 or FL222 (depending on which IF it is
installed in).  It will then let you use it on SSB-N.
